Atrial fibrillation and flutter in the Eastern Mediterranean: burden, disparities, and risk factor contributions from 1990 to 2021
The burden of AFF in the EMR increased from 1990 to 2021, with increasing incidence, DALY, and death rates. High systolic blood pressure and high body mass index are key contributors to these conditions. These findings underscore the need for public health interventions, including improved hypertension and obesity management, lifestyle modifications, and early detection strategies.
