Compared with short-term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors, insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) have been shown to increase atrial fibrillation (AF) detection rates and the opportunity to treat recurrent AF in patients postablation. To examine healthcare utilization and clinical outcomes following AF ablation, in patients with vs without ICM. Retrospective analysis pooling Optum Clinformatics and Medicare Fee-for-service 5% Sample claims databases. Patients with an AF ablation between January 1, 2011, and March 31, 2018 who received an ICM implant within 1 year pre-/postablation were propensity score matched 1:3 to patients without ICM. Outcomes included AF-related healthcare utilization, medication use, and occurrence of composite severe cardiovascular events (stroke / transient ischemic attack, major bleeds, systemic embolism, AF- or heart failure–related hospitalization, or death). A total of 1000 ICM patients and 2998 non-ICM patients were included. During mean follow-up of 33 ± 16 months postablation, ICM patients experienced significantly fewer severe cardiovascular events (1.09 ± 2.22 vs 1.37 ± 4.19, P = .008) and associated costs ($20,757 vs $29,106, P = .0005). ICM patients had a greater number of AF-related clinic visits (16.8 vs 11.6 visits, P < .0001) and were more likely to receive a repeat ablation (38.7% vs 32.4%, P = .0003). Total all-cause costs during follow-up were not statistically different. Discontinuation of oral anticoagulation was higher in ICM patients at 1 year (44% vs 31%, P < .0001) and 2 years (73% vs 64%, P = .0012). A shift from acute, reactive care to routine outpatient management was observed in patients with long-term ECG monitoring. Results suggest closer patient management in patients with long-term monitoring after an AF ablation and an improvement in outcomes, at similar overall cost.
