Abstract
Atrial fibrillation is the most common atrial arrhythmia and accounts for a significant burden of cardiovascular disease globally. With advances in implanted and wearable cardiac monitoring technology, it is now possible to readily and accurately quantify an individual's time spent in atrial fibrillation. This review summarizes the relationship between atrial fibrillation burden and adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes and discusses the role of catheter ablation to mitigate the morbidity and mortality associated with greater burden of atrial fibrillation.
