How much atrial fibrillation is too much atrial fibrillation?

Lamas, Gervasio·2012·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Modern cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators function as permanently implanted cardiac monitors, detecting atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Although the principal purpose of collecting this information is to manage the patient's cardiac rhythm, these data can also be used to detect and study clinically inapparent arrhythmias and their consequences. In this issue of the Journal, Healey and coworkers1 report the results of a prospective study involving patients in whom a pacemaker or defibrillator had recently been implanted (Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Evaluation in Pacemaker Patients and the Atrial Fibrillation Reduction Atrial Pacing Trial [ASSERT]1,2; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00256152). This study . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
