2 Therefore, early identification of HF in high-risk populations, particularly post-MI, is essential for improving outcomes. Common predictors include older age, prior hypertension, diabetes and atrial fibrillation. Risk factors for developing HF after MI vary and are influenced by whether the patient has HFrEF or HFpEF.

Hypertension is the single most important risk factor for development of atrial fibrillation (AF), which may be considered as a cardiac manifestation of hypertensive target organ damage. Furthermore, coexistence of hypertension and AF mutually amplifies the risk of complications, such as heart failure and stroke.
