What we knew before the subcutaneous monitoring ,3-0,71à Thromboembolism risk/year in AF without treatment = CHADS2VA2SC Aspirin = ↓ 22% Oral Anticoagulants = ↓ 66% Risk of thromboembolism x 3-5 Risk of death x 2, HF, Dyspnea, QoL
Risk of stroke according to the FA type Friberg, Eur Heart Journal 2010 Paroxystic vs permanent Hart, JACC 2000 Intermittent vs permanent
Risk of stroke according to the FA type Vanassche, Eur Heart Journal 2015 Paroxystic vs permanent But Asymtomatic AF is very frequent Bad detection with Holters (AF > 5min) -44 % si Holter 24h, -50% si Holter 1 semaine -65% si holter de 1 mois Botto GL, J Cadiov Imaging 2009
What we learned from the subcutaneous monitoring Burden of AF and stroke Temporal link between AF and stroke

Can we stop the anticoagulation ? Is AF a cause of stroke, or an associated factor? 2) Temportal link between AF and TE

Atrial fibrillation may be a marker of more generalized « atriopathy » 1/3 1/3 1/3 prior >30 days prior <30 days after
Rôle of Atriopathy ? Akoum, J Cadiovascular Electrophysiol. 2013
Conclusion: How subcutaneus monitoring does change our daily practice 1. AF burden and silent AF with PM or IAD : early detection CHADS2VAS2C 0 => no d’anticoagulants CHADS2VAS2C ≥ 2 => anticoagulant if AF > 5-6 minutes CHADS2VAS2C 1 => anticoagulant only if AF > 1h, 18h, paroxystic ? 2. Few temporal link between AF and stroke
