Overview

Population-based analysis finds increasing mortality rates for atrial fibrillation in older adults with hypertension, highlighting disparities.

Key Points

  • Atrial fibrillation-related mortality among older adults with hypertension rose significantly from 2001 to 2023, emphasizing a growing public health concern.
  • From 2001 to 2023, over 77,000 deaths were linked to hypertension and atrial fibrillation, with women accounting for 65% of these cases.
  • Joinpoint regression analysis revealed an average annual percentage change of 7.15% in age-adjusted mortality rates during the study period.
  • Results indicate urgent need for targeted interventions to address disparities in care, particularly regarding sex, race, and geographic region.
