Abstract

Cardiac arrhythmia Drug therapy Medical research
Longer monitoring with either insertable cardiac monitor (1 trial) or external wearable monitors (3 trials) resulted in increased detection of AF (OR 5.01, 95% CI 3.39 - 7.42; p < 0.00001) compared to control (Figure 1) and has led to increased use of anticoagulant therapy (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.61 - 4.30; p < 0.0005) among these patients.
