Aims: We aimed to ascertain whether an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM)-guided rhythm-control strategy and assessment of atrial fibrillation (AF) burden may allow safe withdrawal and obviate long-term use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) in AF patients at high bleeding risk.

Methods And Results: We implanted ICMs in 70 patients with AF with high risk of stroke (CHADS2 ≥2, CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2) and bleeding (HAS-BLED score ≥3) after restoration of normal sinus rhythm (NSR) for continuous rhythm monitoring and optimization of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) when necessary. Patients were categorized into: (i) Group A (NSR/low AF burden, <1%), (ii) Group B (moderate/variable AF burden), and (iii) Group C (high AF burden, always AF).
