Temporal Trends in Incidence, Prevalence, and Mortality of Atrial Fibrillation in Primary Care

Article 2017 en

Abstract

1 min read

In a large general practice population, incident AF increased and then plateaued overall, with a continued increase in patients aged ≥75 years. The large projected increase in AF prevalence associated with temporal changes in AF-related comorbidities suggests the need for comprehensive implementation of AF prevention and management strategies.
