Epidemiology of atrial fibrillation: a current perspective.

Heart rhythm - 1 Mar 2007

Chen Lin Y, Shen Win-Kuang

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age. Recent population-based data indicate a trend of increasing incidence and prevalence of AF that is incompletely explained by an aging population. A recent population study estimated that the number of Americans afflicted by AF will increase from the current 2.3 million to more than 10 million by 2050. Novel risk factors--obesity and sleep apnea--may...
