Monitoring time-to-detection of recurrent atrial fibrillation in patients with transient new-onset atrial fibrillation detected initially during hospitalization for noncardiac surgery or medical illness
In patients with transient new-onset AF during hospitalization for another reason, the rate of detection of recurrent AF increased with longer monitoring durations. Approximately 80 % of diagnoses were made after 2 days of monitoring; the likelihood of capturing recurrent AF was 4 times higher with 14 days of monitoring compared to 2 days.
