Incidence and Clinical Significance of New-Onset Device-Detected Atrial Tachyarrhythmia: A Meta-Analysis [Original Articles]

Conclusions:
New-onset DDAT is common, affecting close to one quarter of all patients with implanted pacemakers or defibrillators. Adjudication of atrial electrograms further identifies at-risk patients, even when relatively short detection thresholds are used.
