Healthcare utilization and outcomes in atrial fibrillation ablation patients with and without insertable cardiac monitoring

Abstract: Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of stroke and progression to heart failure, and as a result, increased mortality. Catheter ablation can reduce AF burden, potentially allowing discontinuation from anticoagulant medication in some patients. Post ablation, guidelines recommend ECG monitoring in patients discontinuing anticoagulation to monitor potential AF recurrence. Short-term ECG monitors have lower detection rates for AF recurrence, while long-term inser… Show more
