Implication

Age-associated rise in AF and complex APCs may inform geriatric monitoring; leaves open whether thresholds warrant practice change.

Structured PICO

Population

6,690 subjects in a longitudinal cohort study (ages 40-90 years), 164 healthy subjects in a Holter ECG study (ages 14-87 years), and patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or sick sinus syndrome.

Outcome

Incidence of arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, CRBBB, LBBB, APCs) and electrophysiologic properties across different age groups

The incidence of atrial fibrillation, bundle branch blocks, and complex premature atrial contractions increases significantly with advancing age.
