La fibrilación auricular subclínica (FA-S), frecuentemente identificada como episodios auriculares de alta frecuencia (EAF) detectados por dispositivos cardíacos implantables y tecnologías portátiles, se asocia con un mayor riesgo de tromboembolia. Sin embargo, la decisión de anticoagular sigue siendo controvertida, ya que el riesgo absoluto de eventos tromboembólicos es variable y el uso de anticoagulantes orales implica un mayor riesgo de hemorragia mayor. Ensayos clínicos aleatorizados recientes demuestran una reducción del ictus y la embolia sistémica a costa de un mayor riesgo hemorrágico, lo que refuerza la necesidad de un tratamiento individualizado.
