Atrial High‐Rate Episode Duration Thresholds and Thromboembolic Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Background Available evidence supports an association between atrial high‐rate episode (AHRE) burden and thromboembolic risk, but the necessary extent and duration of AHREs to increase the thromboembolic risk remain to be defined. The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to identify t...
