Trends in Global Burden and Socioeconomic Profiles of Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter: Insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
By 2035, we project a 4.07% increase in incidence despite a 6.84% decrease in mortality. Nearly one-half of the AF/AFL burden is linked to modifiable risk factors, underscoring the importance of tailored prevention strategies and improved health care access, especially in lower SDI countries, to mitigate rising disease rates and reduce health care disparities.
