Long-term ECG monitoring. Significance for primary and secondary prevention of thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation

https://doi.org/10.17802/2306-1278-2018-7-4S-94-100

Abstract

The review presents current data on the use of the long-term ECG monitoring for the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Long-term ECG monitoring allows receiving large amounts of diagnostic data and optimizes clinical management by the timely start of anticoagulant therapy in the patients with silent AF. This is a crucial issue for prevention of thromboembolic events.
