Why the study?
Are AF episode durations >1 h or burdens >0.1% associated with increased healthcare utilization compared to the standard 30 s definition of arrhythmia?
Are AF episode durations >1 h or burdens >0.1% associated with increased healthcare utilization compared to the standard 30 s definition of arrhythmia?
AF episode durations greater than 1 hour or burdens greater than 0.1% are more clinically relevant predictors of healthcare utilization than the standard 30-second definition of AF recurrence.
Supports >1 h or >0.1% AF burden over 30 s for utilization risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
AF recurrence, as defined by 30 s of arrhythmia, lacks clinical relevance. AF episode durations >1 h or burdens >0.1% were associated with increased rates of healthcare utilization.
