Abstract:

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a type of supraventricular arrhythmia characterized by uncoordinated atrial activation, ineffective atrial contraction. It has a high incidence rate and is often complicated by stroke, heart failure, and myocardial disease induced by tachycardia, causing a significant burden on patients and their families. Comprehensive management of AF is crucial for effectively reducing mortality, disability, and improving prognosis. However, traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring often misses asymptomatic and paroxysmal AF at a higher possibility. In recent years, a new device for monitoring AF, insertable cardiac monitor (ICM), has emerged to overcome the limitations of traditional arrhythmia monitoring, for it provides real-time ECG monitoring and alerts for users. ICMs have been widely used in multiple medical senarios, primarily for patients with unexplained syncope, and recently they are adopted to monitor AF However, its role in AF monitoring has not received significant attention in clinical practice.Based on relevant literature, this article reviews the application effect of ICM in monitoring AF and the latest research progress in the field and evaluates its advantages and disadvantages to provide some references for AF management.

Key words: atrial fibrillation, insertable cardic monitor, clinical application, comprehensive management, effectiveness, safety
