The Relationship Between Daily Atrial Tachyarrhythmia Burden From Implantable Device Diagnostics and Stroke Risk: The TRENDS Study (2009, positive): “10,11 Exclusion criteria were (1) replacement devices, (2) long-standing persistent AF, (3) known reentrant supraventricular tachycardias, (4) terminal illness limiting survival, (5) unable or unwilling to consent, and (6) concurrently enrolled in a conflicting drug or device study.”
The Burden of Cardiovascular Disease in the Elderly: Morbidity, Mortality, and Costs (2009, background): “2 million Americans, but it is projected that by 2050 the number of individuals with AF will exceed 10 million, primarily because of population aging.(3,29) In the CHS, the overall prevalence rates of AF in men and women were 6.”
