“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The use of the data stored by the implanted devices has considerably improved our knowledge of AF, as it does not depend on unreliable subjective reports of symptoms. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] One of the secondary end points of the EPASS study was the time to the first recurrence of any AF lasting more than 5 minutes, thus including paroxysmal AF episodes, as documented by the device diagnostics. No difference in this parameter was noted among groups and subgroups, which is in complete agreement with previous findings by Hermida.…”

“…Frequently, it presents as nonspecific complaints and symptoms. In a previous registry [12], the sensitivity and positive predictive value of patient-reported symptoms for atrial fibrillation was merely 19% and 21%, while 74% of patients who had episodes of paroxysmal AF documented by their pacemakers, yet had no complaints. Hence the real prevalence of AF is likely to be under appreciated [13].…”
