What evidence is there that monitored atrial fibrillation duration predicts arterial embolic events?
There is a considerable amount of evidence that suggests that monitored atrial fibrillation duration can predict arterial embolic events. This evidence includes studies from Botto et al. (2009), Glotzer et al. (2009), Shanmugam et al. (2012), Boriani et al. (2014), Gonzalez et al. (2014), Witt et al. (2015), Van Gelder et al. (2017), and Boriani et al. (2011) which have all found a correlation between atrial fibrillation duration and the risk of stroke or thromboembolic events.
