BACKGROUND: Device-detected atrial fibrillation (also known as subclinical atrial fibrillation
or atrial high-rate episodes) is a common finding in patients with an implanted cardiac …

Importance Atrial cardiopathy is associated with stroke in the absence of clinically apparent
atrial fibrillation. It is unknown whether anticoagulation, which has proven benefit in atrial …

This comprehensive review explores the incidence, pathophysiology, and management of
atrial fibrillation (AF) following percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) may be asymptomatic and the extensive monitoring capabilities of
cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) revealed asymptomatic atrial tachi …

BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) speckle tracking provides detailed information on atrial
function. Its utility for predicting subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF) is unclear. Therefore, we …

Aims Recent trial data demonstrate beneficial effects of active rhythm management in
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and support the concept that a low arrhythmia burden is …

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias and is a major cause of
ischaemic stroke. Recent findings indicate the importance of atrial fibrillation burden (device …

(1) Background: Atrial cardiomyopathy constitutes an intrinsically prothrombotic atrial
substrate that may promote atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic events, especially stroke …

One in six ischaemic stroke patients has an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS),
defined as a stroke with unclear aetiology despite recommended diagnostic evaluation. The …

Availability of devices capable of continuous rhythm monitoring such as smartwatches,
implantable loop recorders, or pacemakers/defibrillators is continuously increasing …
