Disorders such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) are difficult to investigate because of their intermittent, and sometimes asymptomatic, nature. The aim of this study was to investigate the daily temporal distribution of AT/AF episodes--onset and occurrence--by analysing data from 250 pacemaker-implanted, brady-tachy syndrome patients who have been enrolled in the Burden II Study.
