Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation and Related Myocardial Ischemia or Arrhythmia Events in Chinese Community Population in 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, and the incidence increases rapidly all over the world. The global prevalence of AF (age-adjusted) is 0.60% for men and 0.37% for women and the prevalence of AF in China is 0.65%. It is expected that the number of patients with AF will continue to rise in the future worldwide due to population aging.

Objective

To explore the prevalence of AF in Chinese community population in 2019 and clarify the prevalence of AF complicated with other arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia (MI) events.

Methods
