3 Cumulative Hazard Rates Device Diagnostics and Stroke Prevention ASSERT: AT/AF >6 min >190 bpm ASSERT : Time to Adjudicated AHRE (>6 min >190 bpm) # at Risk Year month Visit Years of Follow-up

4 Undetectable Asymptomatic AF >48 h More than ⅓ of patients with AF episodes > 48 h a) asymptomatic plus b) always in sinus rhythm at time of follow-up 110 pts with AF treated by AADs + PM 50 pts with AF episodes >48 h 19 pts (38 %): no symptoms, FU Israel et al., JACC 2004;43:47-52

5 Atrial Arrhythmias in Pacemaker Memory Distinguish true from false AT/AF detection Program to get the true arrhythmia duration Study data: Clinical meaning of AT/AF detected solely by devices Summary: What to do?

6 Farfield Oversensing 10% 49% 41% correct AT detection FFRW others nominal PVAB 80 ms 80% of false positive AF detections in BEATS due to ventr. FF oversensing sufficiently long PVAB ( 100 ms) required Israel PACE 2006;29:582-8

7 Farfield Oversensing Duration Trigger ventricular FF oversensing can fill memory with trash and thus prevent AF detection

8 Far-Field Oversensing Cannot be Solved by Sensitivity Reprogramming Reduction of atrial sensitivity (e. g mv) may 25 mm/s - prevent detection of sinus rhythm - prevent detection continuous detection of atrial fibrillation - Not prevent farfield R wave oversensing

9 AF Undersensing AT onset criteria fulfilled high-degree AT undersensing Intermittent AF undersensing: Premature detection of AF termination (P wave 3.2 mv, atrial sensitivity 0.5 mv, bipolar)

10 AF Undersensing Duration Trigger reliable detection of AF duration requires high atrial sensitivity ( mv)

11 FFRW Oversensing Test AV delay 100 ms, atrial sensitivity 0.1 mv, PVAB 60 ms Use calipers: VP FFRW marker (paper speed 100 mm/s) PVAB ms longer Kolb et al., JCE 2006;17:992-7

12 Functional Atrial Undersensing PVARP PVAB 2:1 lock-in of alternate atrial flutter potentials within the blanking period Long atrial blanking times: Long AV delay + long PVAB Shorter blanking time, special algorithms, or AAI(R) Israel PACE 2002;25:380-93

13 Blanked Flutter Search and on top: maximum tracking rate 110 bpm

14 Far-Field Oversensing: Bipole Spacing De Voogt PACE 2005;28:782-8

15 Far-Field Oversensing: Bipole Spacing De Voogt PACE 2005;28:782-8

16 Optimized AT/AF Detection Max. Rate > Max. Duration No. of episodes No. of episodes 159 days of continuous AF detection without signal drop-out

17 AF Detection by Devices Problems for Sensitivity of AF Detection - atrial undersensing: a) true undersensing b) functional undersensing Problems for Specificity of AF Detection - atrial oversensing: a) farfield R wave oversensing b) myopotential oversensing c) P wave double counting d) EMI, lead failure - non-sustained AT - atrial pacing without capture (e. g. competitive AP)

18 Functional Non-Capture : RNRVAS RNRVAS: Repetitive Non-Reentrant Ventriculo- Atrial Synchrony Barold, J Interv Cardiac Electrophysiol 2001;5:45-58

19 Atrial Arrhythmias in Pacemaker Memory Distinguish true from false AT/AF detection Program to get the true arrhythmia duration Study data: Clinical meaning of AT/AF detected solely by devices Summary: What to do?

20 TRENDS n = 2.486, mean follow-up 1.4 years documented AT/AF before or after enrollment: n = Glotzer, Circulation AEP 2009;2:474-80

22 Which AF Duration Causes Stroke? ASSERT-Studie (data on file)

23 When after AF Detection Does a Stroke Occur? ASSERT-Studie (data on file)

24 TRENDS: Stroke without AF? 40 strokes in TRENDS (1.6% out of 2,486 pts) 20 pts without any stored AT/AF before stroke 9 pts with stored AT/AF >30 d before stroke 29/40 (73 %) pts with 0% AT/AF within 30 d before stroke Daoud, Heart Rhythm 2011;8:

25 ASSERT: Stroke without AF? 51 strokes in ASSERT only 18 pts with AF only 11 pts with AF before stroke only 4 pts with AF within 30 days before stroke Brambatti, Circulation 2014

26 Temporal Relationship AF & Stroke in IMPACT 69 thromboembolic events in both groups 9 (13%) preceded AT 40 (58%) occurred without AT detected during the monitoring period 20 (29%) followed AT (1-489 days) Martin, Eur Heart J 2015 (epub, doi: /eurhear tj/ehv115)
