AFIB DETECTION ON ILR

It is reasonable to consider anticoagulation in patients with AF events > or = 5 min, particularly in those with a CHADS 2-VASc score >  or = 3 or equivalent stroke risk.

Use of anticoagulation for patients with a very low burden of AF (< 5 min) is not recommended without other indications.
