Importance of non-cardiovascular comorbidities in atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are interlinked and frequently coexisting conditions. To date, patients with AF and HFpEF have limited evidence guiding their management. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of adverse outcomes among patients with AF and HFpEF.

Methods

The Fushimi AF Registry is a community-based prospective survey of AF patients in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. From the registry, we explored predictors for a composite of cardiac death or HF hospitalization among AF patients with HFpEF (defined as having a prior HF hospitalization or New York Heart Association class ≥2 in association with heart disease and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%). Besides, we investigated whether the scoring
