Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Development of clinical ischemic stroke or new silent cerebral infarction in the 2-years follow-up brain MRI image | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Composite of clinical ischemic stroke, new silent cerebral infarction, and subclinical AF =24 hours during follow-up. - Development of asymptomatic cerebral infarction, white matter hyperintensity, and microbleed in the 2-years follow-up brain MRI image - Clinical ischemic stroke during follow-up - Incidence of subclinical AF = 6 minutes - Incidence of subclinical AF = 5.5 hours - Incidence of subclinical AF = 24 hours - Incidence of clinical AF documented on the 12-lead or holter ECG. - Progression to the persistent AF (at least 7 consecutive days with 22 hours of device-recorded AF per day or at least 1 day with an episode of AF lasting at least 22 hours that was interrupted with an electrical or chemical cardioversion) - Success rate of anti-tachycardia pacing - Percentage of atrial and ventricular pacing on each follow-up interrogation. - Percentage of AF burden on each follow-up interrogation. | — |
