In young Tunisian patients with atrial fibrillation, there is a high burden of comorbidities and poor quality of VKA anticoagulation, highlighting a significant gap in optimal stroke prevention management.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is recognized as the most frequent common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. The management of AF and its related complications is especially challenging. Data related to its clinical characteristics, management, and poor outcome in the young Tunisian patients remains scarce. The data from this registry aimed to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, management, and outcomes of AF in young Tunisian patients. NATURE AF is a prospective Tunisian registry that enrolled patients with AF from March 1 to May 31, 2017, with a one-year follow-up. Epidemiological characteristics and outcomes in young patients ( 70%. Rhythm control was set out in 57.8% of patients. Thromboembolic complications were observed in 1.1% of patients, bleeding events in 6%, and 3.9% died. AF is related to many comorbidities and complex medical histories. The NATURE AF Registry has provided systematic collection of contemporary data regarding epidemiological clinical characteristics and the management of AF in Tunisia in young patients. The quality of anticoagulation remained poor.
