A careful review of device memories is required at each follow-up of patients with CIEDs. graphic file with name euac144il1.jpg 17
Risk stratification to identify individuals that require further investigation aimed at establishing AF diagnosis should be performed using the CHA2DS2-VASc score in patients with SCAF/AHREs (>5 min) graphic file with name euac144il1.jpg 86
Intensified follow-up, eventually using remote monitoring, is justifiable in patients with AHREs <24 h in individuals at risk of thromboembolic episodes. graphic file with name euac144il1.jpg 87
Based on their risk stratification, initiation of oral anticoagulation may be an option in patients with SCARF/AHREs lasting longer than 24 h. graphic file with name euac144il2.jpg 65
No anticoagulation is needed in patients when asymptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmias lasting <5 min are discovered in device memories of CIEDs. graphic file with name euac144il3.jpg 10,75,82,85
