Lb-456091-2 dynamic data driven management of atrial fibrillation using implantable cardiac monitors – the monitor af study

Management of atrial fibrillation (AF) is often complex and dynamic. Clinical decisions related to initiation of rate control, rhythm control strategies, stroke prophylaxis measures depend on the assessment of the presence and the burden of AF. Assessment of therapy outcomes and withdrawl of drugs and anticoagulation are guided by AF monitoring. Implantable cardiac monitors (ICM) are excellent tools to detect and monitor AF burden in a dynamic fashion. We prospectively studied if the presence of an ICM impacts the management of AF and there by clinical outcomes.
