Abstract

Atrial fibrillation, which is one of the most commonly diagnosed arrhythmias in adults, is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Atrial fibrillation is also the most common arrhythmia in patients with heart failure, and it has been shown to increase the risk of death, heart failure-related hospitalization, and stroke or transient ischemic attack. Considering these clinical and therapeutic implications, it seems advisable to assess patients for risk factors of atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this study was to present the predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation particularly in patients with heart failure.
