Recent studies have linked AHRE to the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and increased stroke risk, especially when episodes last longer than 5-6 min. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between predictive factors and the occurrence of AHRE in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This single-centre, retrospective study included a cohort of 155 consecutive HFrEF patients with CIEDs, but without a diagnosis of AF, enrolled between January 2023 and December 2023. Patients were stratified based on the presence of AHRE detected during device interrogation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The average age of the patients was 54 ± 14 years, and 83.2% of the study population were male. Patients with AHRE had a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (<i>p</i> = 0.026) and an increased left atrial diameter (<i>p</i> < 0.001) compared to the group without AHRE. Patients with AHRE had elevated levels of creatinine, uric acid, and TSH compared to those without AHRE (<i>p</i> = 0.006, <i>p</i> = 0.021, <i>p</i> = 0.009, respectively).

In multivariable logistic regression analysis, left ventricular ejection fraction (HR = 0.890, 95% CI = 0.795-0.998, <i>p</i> = 0.046), left atrial diameter (HR = 8.215, 95% CI = 1.557-43.34, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and uric acid concentration (HR = 1.650, 95% CI = 1.063-2.561, <i>p</i> = 0.025) were identified as predictors of atrial high-rate events.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>LVEF, left atrial diameter, and uric acid level were found to be independent predictors of AHRE in patients with HFrEF.
