Atrial high-rate episodes and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices

Patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) are at higher risk of thromboembolic events and mortality. The risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in these patients is unknown. To investigate the risk of MACE in patients implanted with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) developing AHREs We included 852 consecutive patients undergoing CIEDs implantation. Primary outcome was a composite endpoint of MACEs occurring after...
