370 patients were divided into risk groups based on CHADS2 score (intermediate risk [a CHADS2 score of 1] or high risk [a CHADS2 score of ≥2]) and AF burden (low AT/AF burden [less than the median average daily AT/AF burden of 0.044 hours/day] or high AT/AF burden [greater than or equal to the median average daily AT/AF burden of 0.044 hours/day]). 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.
