An association between atrial high-rate episode (AHRE) and stroke has been reported, although data for the Asian population are limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of AHRE in ischemic and major bleeding events in patients who underwent a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedure.Methods and Results:This single-center historical cohort study included 710 patients (age: 78±11 years, 374 women) who underwent a CIED-related procedure between October 2009 and September 2019 at Shimane Prefectural Central Hospital (median follow-up period: 4.5 [2.5, 7] years, 3439 person-years). Based on the maximum AHRE burden, patients were divided into: (1) &lt;6 min; (2) ≥6 min to 24-h; and (3) ≥24-h groups. The cumulative incidence of ischemic (ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and transient ischemic attack) and major bleeding (≥3 Bleeding Academic Research Consortium bleeding criteria) events after the procedure were compared. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with these events. The incidence of both events increased with the rising AHRE burden, being significantly higher in the ≥24-h group than in the &lt;6 min group. Multivariate analysis found age ≥85 years to be the only independent factor associated with both events.
