Why the study?
Predicting and detecting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at an early stage is a key priority for preventing cardioembolic complications.

Population
97 patients with newly diagnosed paroxysmal AF and 99 matched controls
Comparison
Newly diagnosed paroxysmal AF vs matched controls without AF
Design
Single-center case-control study

High-accuracy Holter model may support early PAF risk stratification; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Can 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring parameters predict paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with sinus rhythm?
Specific 24-hour Holter ECG parameters, particularly 'P on T' early atrial extrasystoles, can highly accurately predict paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with sinus rhythm.
