What are the clinical implications of brief device-detected atrial tachyarrhythmias in a cardiac rhythm management device population?
The clinical implications of brief device-detected atrial tachyarrhythmias in a cardiac rhythm management device population were studied using the Registry of Atrial Tachycardia and Atrial Fibrillation Episodes. The study revealed that patients with a greater number of atrial tachyarrhythmias were more likely to have a higher risk of death and stroke. Furthermore, the study suggested that atrial tachyarrhythmias may be associated with increased risk of arterial embolism, suggesting that atrial tachyarrhythmias should be monitored and treated carefully in order to reduce the risk of adverse events.
