Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter as Global Drivers of Heart Failure: Burden and Longitudinal Trends Over Three Decades
The global burden of heart failure attributable to AF/AFL increased substantially from 1990 to 2021, disproportionately affecting older adults, females aged 55 years and above and populations in high SDI regions. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the growing challenges, particularly for vulnerable groups.
