Eligibility Criteria

Ages
18 to 99 (—)

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Permanent pacemaker or defibrillator (with or without resynchronization) or
  • insertable cardiac monitor capable of detecting SCAF
  • 2\. At least one episode of device\-detected SCAF \>\= 6 minutes in duration but no
  • single episode \> 24 hours in duration at any time prior to enrollment. Any
  • atrial high rate episode with average \> 175 beats/min will be considered as
  • SCAF. No distinction will be made between atrial fibrillation and atrial
  • flutter. SCAF requires electrogram confirmation (at least one episode) unless \>\=
  • 6 hours in duration
  • 3\. Age \> 55 years
  • 4\. Risk Factor(s) for Stroke: Previous stroke, TIA or systemic arterial

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Clinical atrial fibrillation documented by surface ECG (12 lead ECG,
  • Telemetry, Holter) lasting \>\= 6 minutes, with or without clinical symptoms
  • 2\. Mechanical valve prosthesis, deep vein thrombosis, recent pulmonary embolism
  • or other condition requiring treatment with an anticoagulant
  • 3\. Contra\-indication to apixaban or aspirin:
  • a. Allergy to aspirin or apixaban
  • b. Severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance must be calculated in all
  • patients; any patient with either a serum creatinine \> 2\.5 mg/dL \[221 µmol/L]
  • or a calculated creatinine clearance \< 25 ml/min is excluded)
  • c. Serious bleeding in the last 6 months or at high risk of bleeding (this
