atrial high-rate episode(English)

• implanted pacemakers or defibrillators with an atrial lead allow continuous monitoring of atrial rhythm, and these high rate episodes can be identified using this technology. Depending on the risk profile of the population studied, they are detected in 10–15% of pacemaker patients. Associated with an increased risk of overt AF and ischemic stroke or systemic embolism. The stroke risk in AHRE patients seems lower than the stroke risk in patients with diagnosed AF, and not all AHRE represent AF. Strokes often occur without AHRE detected within 30 days before the event
