AF predominates among tachyarrhythmias in adults >65; leaves open whether this informs screening or outcomes in geriatric cohorts.

In a geriatric population over 65 years old, atrial fibrillation is the most frequently observed tachyarrhythmia and is often associated with evidence of myocardial damage.
Vaidya et al. (1976) conducted an observational in Tachyarrhythmias (n=1,171). Age >65 was evaluated on Incidence of tachyarrhythmias. Among 1,171 patients over age 65, atrial fibrillation was the most common tachyarrhythmia observed, followed by atrial flutter and supraventricular tachycardia.
