In this Cardiology Today video exclusive, Matthew D. Solomon, MD, PhD, cardiologist at Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center and adjunct investigator at the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, discusses findings from the KP-RHYTHM study, which found that an increase in atrial fibrillation burden is independently associated with greater risk for ischemic stroke and arterial thromboembolism in patients who are not taking anticoagulants.

The KP-RHYTHM researchers measured heart rhythm using the Zio Patch (iRhythm Technologies), an FDA-approved, water-resistant, ambulatory ECG monitoring skin adhesive patch.

Solomon highlights the new data, discusses the promise of noninvasive, continuous ambulatory monitoring and identifies areas for future research.
