The Intersection of Atrial Fibrillation and Coronary Artery Disease in Middle Eastern Patients. Analysis from the Jordan Atrial Fibrillation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a scarcity of clinical studies which evaluate the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Middle East. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of CAD on baseline clinical profiles and one-year outcomes in a Middle Eastern cohort with AF.
