[Characterization of atrial fibrillation burden using wearables].
The characterization of atrial fibrillation (AF) according to current guidelines categorically refers to the differentiation between paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent AF. A more precise characterization of AF, including the evaluation of AF burden, is playing an increasingly significant role in both scientific research and clinical practice. Digital devices, especially those with the capability of passive (semi-)continuous recording, can contribute to a more accurate quantification of AF burden. Particularly in patients with an already established diagnosis of AF, the evaluation of AF burden can be used to monitor the success of antiarrhythmic therapy including antiarrhythmic drugs or pulmonary vein isolation. However, important questions remain unanswered: In addition to a uniform, evidence-based definition of AF burden, clinically relevant cut-offs for AF burden and resulting therapeutic consequences (e.g., subclinical AF) need to be elaborated. Furthermore, the establishment and evaluation of care structures for assessing and integrating AF burden in clinical care, especially by incorporating data from wearable medical devices, should take place.
