Key result
Atrial fibrillation frequently coexists with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and is associated with an increased risk of mortality, stroke, and hospitalization.
Why the study?
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation remain clinical challenges, with atrial fibrillation being a common comorbidity that can worsen prognosis.
Atrial fibrillation is a common comorbidity in HFpEF that significantly worsens prognosis, highlighting the need for careful screening and tailored management strategies.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are the diseases that still challenges modern cardiology. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction caused more than half of heart failure’s cases and AT is one of the most common co-morbidities, that can worsen prognosis. The following article presents the current knowledge regarding HFpEF and the significance of AF in this group of patients.
