A history of atrial fibrillation was associated with increased hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic advanced systolic heart failure.
Does a history of atrial fibrillation affect mortality and HF hospitalization in patients with chronic advanced systolic heart failure?
In patients with chronic advanced systolic heart failure, a history of atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure hospitalization but not mortality.
A history of AF had no intrinsic association with mortality but was associated with HF hospitalization in chronic systolic HF.
