In patients with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome and permanent pacemakers having these mode switching algorithms, mode switching events are reliable surrogate markers for atrial tachyarrhythmias. Therefore, mode switching may serve as a valuable tool for clinical decision making and further research into the natural history and burden of atrial tachyarrhythmias.

Patients with IAST and elevated average daily HR exhibit normal diurnal variation around a higher mean HR. In contrast, patients with IAST and lower average daily HR had an exaggerated morning rise in HR. These diurnal patterns may be useful to classify the pathophysiology of IAST.
