Population

5504 patients with HF across 11 Asian regions

Comparison

AF across different Asian ethnic groups and regions

Design

Prospective multinational observational study

Follow-up

1 year

Overview

Supports consideration of ethnic differences in AF-HF risk stratification across Asia; leaves open optimal region-specific strategies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
5,504 patients with heart failure (HFpEF and HFrEF), mean age 61 ± 13 years, 27% women, 83% HFrEF, prospectively recruited across 11 Asian regions.
O
Outcome
Prevalence of atrial fibrillation, clinical correlates, and 1-year all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalizationcomposite

There are significant ethnic variations in the prevalence of atrial fibrillation among Asian patients with heart failure that are not explained by known risk factors, though the adverse outcomes associated with AF remain consistent across ethnicities.
