Why the study?
Studies specifically dedicated to asymptomatic arrhythmias are lacking, yet these arrhythmias still require proper diagnostic and prognostic evaluation and treatment to prevent severe adverse outcomes.
This consensus document provides expert guidance on the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation and treatment of asymptomatic arrhythmias to prevent severe clinical consequences.
Guides management of asymptomatic arrhythmias amid evidence gaps; extends consensus while highlighting research needs.
Asymptomatic arrhythmias are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Although studies specifically dedicated to these asymptomatic arrhythmias are lacking, many arrhythmias still require proper diagnostic and prognostic evaluation and treatment to avoid severe consequences, such as stroke or systemic emboli, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death. The present document reviews the evidence, where available, and attempts to reach a consensus, where evidence is insufficient or conflicting.
