Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) are the most common arrhythmias globally, with far-reaching impacts on quality of life, mortality, and health care costs from stroke, heart failure, and all-cause death, driven by hospitalisations and chronic follow-up.1,2 Previous studies have demonstrated rising global trends in AF prevalence, disability-adjusted life-years (DALY), and deaths, with disparities between different sociodemographic index (SDI) levels; however, some have been limited to specific regions, focused on risk factors, or using dated data.
