What is the association between CIED-detected atrial tachyarrhythmias of variable durations 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 increase in the risk of stroke or systemic thromboembolism (HR, 2-9).
