Black individuals with atrial fibrillation face a considerably higher risk of stroke, heart failure, CHD, and mortality compared to white individuals, highlighting significant racial disparities.
In the prospective ARIC Study, the outcome of AF on the rates of stroke, heart failure, CHD, and mortality was considerably larger in black individuals than white individuals. These results indicate the vulnerability and increased risk in black individuals with AF. Continued investigation of racial differences in AF and its related adverse outcomes are essential to identify and mitigate racial disparities in the treatment of AF.
