Background-Intermittent rhythm monitoring (IRM) to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence is employed to evaluate the success of therapeutic interventions. In a large population of patients with continuous monitoring (CM), we investigated the sensitivity of various frequencies and durations of IRM strategies on the detection of AF recurrence, the dynamics behind AF recurrence detection, and we describe measures to evaluate temporal AF recurrence.Methods and Results-Rhythm histories of 647 patients (mean AF burden, 0.12 +/- 0.22; median, 0.014; 687 patient-years) with implantable CM devices were reconstructed and analyzed. With the use of computationally intensive simulation, the sensitivity of IRM of various frequencies and durations on the identification of AF recurrence was evaluated. Prolonged-duration IRM was superior to shorter IRM (P
