McIntyre et al. have made a significant contribution to the growing body of evidence supporting extended ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring in patients with transient new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) [1]. While their findings effectively underscore the critical importance of prolonged monitoring for detecting AF recurrence, our reading of the work brings several notable limitations to the fore. These issues warrant in-depth discussion, as they bear significant implications not only for the interpretation of the study itself but also for its translation into routine clinical practice.
