AHRE detection with identifiable risk factors in remote-monitored ICD patients was associated with low thromboembolism but notable bleeding on anticoagulation; leaves open net benefit pending trials.
Cohort (n=1,226)
No
In ICD patients undergoing remote monitoring, sub-clinical atrial fibrillation (AHREs) occurred in 5.14% of patients, and subsequent anticoagulation was associated with a low risk of thromboembolism but an 8.5% rate of hemorrhagic complications.
Surget et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in implantable cardioverter defibrillator recipients (n=1,226). Remote monitoring was evaluated on Incidence of atrial high rate episodes (AHREs). Remote monitoring detected atrial high rate episodes in 5.14% of implantable defibrillator recipients, with thyroid dysfunction and left atrial enlargement identified as risk factors.
