A Comprehensive Evaluation of Rhythm Monitoring Strategies for the Detection of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence: Insights from 647 Continuously Monitored Patients and Implications for Monitoring After Therapeutic Interventions

Circ.ahajournals.org: 7/23/12.

Intermittent rhythm monitoring (IRM) to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence is employed to evaluate the success of therapeutic interventions. In a large population of continuously monitored (CM) patients, we investigated the sensitivity of various frequency and duration IRM strategies on the detection of AF recurrence, the dynamics behind AF recurrence detection and describe measures to evaluate temporal AF recurrence. Read More
