Abstract
Ambulatory ECG monitoring technology has rapidly evolved over the last few decades and has been shown to identify life-threatening and non-life threatening arrhythmias and provide actionable data to guide clinical decision making. Atrial fibrillation episodes can often be asymptomatic, even after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, creating a disconnect between symptoms and actual arrhythmia burden which may alter clinical management. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of invasive and non-invasive ECG monitoring strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation, with a special focus on the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, and on follow-up of patients after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation ablation.
