Abstract:Subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF) refers to atrial fibrillation with no or almost no symptoms which occurs in a subclinical form. It is detected by the programming of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED). In recent years, with the development of CIED, SCAF has gradually been recognized by scholars, and become the focus of research. This article mainly reviews the latest progress in aspects of screening methods, risk of stroke and therapy of SCAF.
