Found this on a web-site that I receive links to: http://www.patientcareonline.com/atrial-fibrillation/diagnosis-subclinical-af
Never heard of it, but it is germane to our PMC.

Thank you for sharing this! My story does not include a device as of yet, but has been suggested repeatedly during treatment for A-FIB/FLUTTER, with LAE, and now bouts of CHF. While I am "only" 46, I do wonder if I have silently had this disorder for many years, which seemed to suddenly strike me 2-3 years ago. This makes sense that ones CHAD score would be higher than at first glance; this is interesting way to prove it. But cost-effective?

Sometimes a device must be tuned a few times before it is right. My cardiologist said it is like fine tuning a car.
AHA16

I had not heard of that one either.
Another study that recently came out, but I don't remember if it was AHA16 or not, that incidental short term AFIB detected by a PM did not need treatment.
IIRC anything less than 15-20 seconds.
