Device-detected subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmias: definition, implications and management—an European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) consensus document, endorsed by Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) and Sociedad Latinoamericana de Estimulación Cardíaca y Electrofisiología (SOLEACE)

Atrial high rate event (AHRE): atrial high-rate episodes are defined as atrial tachyarrhythmia episodes with rate >190 beats/min detected by cardiac implantable electronic devices.

Subclinical atrial fibrillaton (AF): atrial high-rate episodes (>6 minutes and <24-hours) with lack of correlated symptoms in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices, detected with continuous ECG monitoring (intracardiac) and without prior diagnosis (ECG or Holter monitoring) of AF.

Silent (asymptomatic) AF: documented AF in the absence of any symptoms or prior diagnosis often presenting with a complication related to AF e.g. stroke, heart failure, etc.

Excessive supraventricular ectopic activity (ESVEA): 30 premature supraventricular contractions (PSC) /hour (≥729 PCS /24 hours) or episode of PSC runs ≥20 beats.

AF - atrial fibrillation

AHRE – atrial high rate episode

ASSERT – ASymptomatic atrial fibrillation and Stroke...
