What is the association between CIED-detected atrial tachyarrhythmias and stroke or systemic thromboembolism?
Several studies have evaluated the association between CIED-detected atrial tachyarrhythmias of variable durations and stroke or systemic thromboembolism and have found that AHRE burden with a duration of 5 to 6 minutes or more are significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke or systemic thromboembolism (HR, 2-9).
