Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will enroll patients initiating Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors without history of documented arrhythmia while on therapy using the Medtronic LINQ-2 insertable cardiac monitor (ILR). The incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and other arrhythmia will be determined. Actions taken in response to device detected arrhythmia will be recorded.

- type
- OTHER
- label
- Patients initiated on Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, consenting to installment of ILR
- description
- Patients free of documented arrhythmia initiating treatment with a BTK inhibitor who consent to monitoring using the Medtronic LINQ-2 implanted cardiac monitoring device (ILR) prior to initiating BTK inhibitor therapy.
- interventionNames
- Device: Medtronic LINQ-2 Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ILR)
Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Incidence of device detected atrial fibrillation (AF)
- timeFrame
- at 18 months after start of BTK inhibitor
- description
- Incidence of AF lasting 6 or more minutes at 18 months: each arrhythmic episode detected by the patient's device will be reviewed to determine if it is 1) an actual AF episode, and 2) is at least 6 minutes in duration.
- measure
- Long term Incidence of device detected AF
