Abstract

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) burden and longest duration are important predictors of heart failure and embolism. However, burden-specific detection rates on 7-day Holter ECG remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 25,817 recordings, 2,289 cases of paroxysmal AF and 571 cases of persistent AF were identified. Low-burden AF was common, and 7-day monitoring substantially improved detection, particularly for AF burden
