BackgroundAdvances in wearable devices and machine-learning-based ECG analysis enable highly accurate detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) outside traditional clinical settings, leading to increasing identification of asymptomatic AF. However, the prognostic significance of AI-detected asymptomatic AF and its implications for downstream cardiovascular risk remain unclear. In contrast to clinically diagnosed AF, evidence guiding risk stratification and further evaluation in this population is li...
