Primary analysis was conducted for 370 patients, excluding those who were taking warfarin or antiarrhythmic drugs at baseline; secondary analysis was conducted for 526 patients, including those who were taking warfarin or antiarrhythmic drugs at baseline. Data are expressed as means [95% confidence intervals] of estimated AT/AF detection rates with the snapshot monitoring. CIED indicates cardiac implantable electronic device; AT, atrial tachycardia; AF, atrial fibrillation.
