Key result
Population aging and improved cardiovascular disease survival drive a dramatic rise in AF prevalence.
Why the study?
An aging general population and improved treatments for coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure have led to a dramatic increase in the prevalence of atrial fibrillation.
