Why the study?
Does automatic daily Home Monitoring reduce AF burden in pacemaker patients?
Population
n=701 pacemaker patients recruited at 97 clinical centers in China.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
6 months
Key result
Early AF detection via daily Home Monitoring in pacemaker recipients was associated with a significant decrease in mean AF burden over 180 days (e.g., 12.0% to 2.5% in dual-chamber devices; P<0.05).

May support home monitoring for early AF detection in pacemakers; hypothesis-generating, needs RCTs before practice change.

p-value: p=<0.05
Automatic daily home monitoring in pacemaker patients enables early detection of atrial fibrillation, which is associated with a significant reduction in subsequent AF burden.
Chen et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Atrial fibrillation in pacemaker patients (n=701). Automatic, daily Home Monitoring was evaluated on AF burden over 180 days following first AF detection (p=<0.05). Early AF detection via daily Home Monitoring in pacemaker recipients was associated with a significant decrease in mean AF burden over 180 days (e.g., 12.0% to 2.5% in dual-chamber devices; P<0.05).
