What we have learned from the European Heart Rhythm Association consensus document on device-detected subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmias

Özet

Although various cardiac monitoring methods were developed to detect subclinical arrhythmias, guidelines do not address in detail the managementof subclinical atrial fibrillation and tachyarrhythmias. The European Heart Rhythm Association recently published a consensus documentthat addresses the clinical importance, implications, and management of device-detected subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmias. This papercomprehensively reviews the diagnostic tools to detect subclinical atrial arrhythmias and discusses the pathophysiologic link between devicedetectedsubclinical atrial fibrillation and stroke. In this invited review, in the light of this paper and current scientific data, we aimed to summarizehow to manage subclinical atrial arrhythmias.
