The DEFINE AFib study is a prospective, observational, post-market clinical study. This nationwide, app-based study — sponsored by Medtronic — includes approximately 5,000 patients with a self-reported history of Afib and either a Reveal LINQ™ or LINQ II™ insertable cardiac monitor (ICM).
We will use our research findings to improve the understanding of how data from the LINQ™ family of ICMs can be used to guide the management of Afib patients.
The study uses a combination of device data, electronic health records, and Apple® Health app data to evaluate the association between complex patterns of Afib and clinical outcomes and quality of life.
DEFINE AFib is an app-based study designed to answer questions about patterns of atrial fibrillation and impact on healthcare utilization and quality of life.
