Does the type of atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal vs. persistent/permanent) affect the risk of heart failure hospitalization and stroke in patients with HFrEF?
Patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF)
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or new onset atrial fibrillation
Persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation
Heart failure hospitalization and strokehard clinical
In patients with HFrEF, paroxysmal AF is associated with a higher risk of HF hospitalization and stroke compared to persistent or permanent AF, emphasizing the importance of anticoagulant therapy.
Among HF patients with a history of AF, those with paroxysmal AF were at greater risk of HF hospitalization and stroke than were patients with persistent or permanent AF, underlining the importance of anticoagulant therapy. New onset AF was associated with increased risk of all outcomes.
