Background Current guidelines mainly address clinical atrial fibrillation and long Atrial Heart Rate Episodes (AHRE). This study focused on the clinical significance of incidental short AHRE detected by Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED).
Methods A single-centre retrospective observational study recruited patients from CIED clinic of Princess Margaret Hospital from 2015 to 2022, excluding patients with known clinical AF. The primary outcome was clinical AF and/or long AHRE more than 24 hours. Secondary outcomes included non-fatal stroke, admission for heart failure, myocardial infarction and death. AHRE+ vs AHRE- were compared using multivariate analysis, introducing AHRE duration as a time-dependent covariates. A …
