Hypertension may warrant closer AF monitoring in similar cohorts; extends prior associations but leaves open preventive impact.
Observational (n=2,352)
Hazard Ratio: 1.352 (95% CI 1.151–1.553)
p-value: p=0.0027
Hypertension, obesity, smoking, and dyslipidemia are highly prevalent risk factors in patients with atrial fibrillation, highlighting the need for comprehensive risk factor management.
Naser et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Atrial fibrillation (n=2,352). Arterial hypertension vs. Patients without hypertension was evaluated on Incidence of atrial fibrillation (HR 1.352, 95% CI 1.151-1.553, p=0.0027). Arterial hypertension was the most common comorbidity, present in 76% of patients, and was significantly associated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation (HR 1.352).
