Summary

Observational, multi-center, retrospective study to evaluate the use of ICM (implantable cardiac monitor) versus traditional, non-ICM (non-implantable cardiac monitor) methods such as ECGs (electrocardiogram), Holter, and mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) units.

Detailed description

Even with its increasing popularity and use, the impact of ICMs on AF (atrial fibrillation) management is still being determined and can even be conflicting. Furthermore, the use of ICM is dependent on physician preference. It is hypothesized that dynamic monitoring with ICMs is superior to conventional methods and should be used for all patients with AF. Thus, it aimed to measure the outcomes of using ICM versus more traditional approaches in patients with AF.

Conditions
