FIGURE 4. Burden of PACs and SVTs and the Likelihood of Detected AF.

FIGURE 4

(A) A high average premature atrial complex (PAC) burden of ≥1,000 per 24 hours on the baseline monitor was associated with a significantly higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the subsequent 6- or 12-month monitors compared with <75 per 24 hours (odds ratio: 2.82; 95% CI: 1.08–7.38). This association was not seen in those with an average PAC burden <1,000. (B) A high average supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) burden of ≥25 episodes per week on the baseline monitor was associated with a significantly higher risk of AF on the subsequent 6- or 12-month monitors compared with no episodes per week (odds ratio: 7.32; 95% CI: 2.11–25.45). For both panels, the odds ratios for the risk of having AF on any monitor (including baseline) are also shown. The numbers of participants in each category are reported below.
