Impact of atrial fibrillation on the risk of major adverse cardiac events following coronary revascularisation

Open Heart

Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a highly prevalent arrhythmia with significant burden on morbidity and mortality. The primary outcome of interest was 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularisation and cerebrovascular accidents.

Outcomes and Disease Management in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation ≥80 Years: Data From a Consecutive 11‐Year Real‐World Registry

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAs the population ages, atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence increases, but data on optimal oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients 80 years remain limited. Data were analyzed by age for outcomes and risk factors for predefined end points.ResultsPatients 80 years comprised 32.2% of AF cases. of AF cases.
