Clinical epidemiology of atrial fibrillation in heart failure in Abeokuta, Nigeria
AF in HF in our setting occurred at a younger age compared with data from Western Europe and North America. Women were diagnosed at a younger age because of the risk factors. Hypertensive heart disease was the most common risk factor, and most patients required anticoagulation. Studies are needed to determine the impact of AF on the outcome of HF in our setting.
