Ci-452768-1 impact of new-onset atrial fibrillation detected by cardiac implantable electronic devices on cardioembolic stroke events

The association between atrial fibrillation (AF) detected by implanted cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and the incidence of cardioembolic stroke events has been reported. However, the cut-off value of new-onset AF duration detected by CIEDs for cardioembolic stroke is still unknown. In previous studies regarding the cut-off value of AF duration, patients who had a history of AF or had received anticoagulant therapies were also included. Therefore, the solo effect of AF on the risk of cardioembolic stroke cannot be reliably evaluated on these studies.
