Compared to their peers without the condition, people with atrial fibrillation are twice as likely to be admitted to hospital, five times more likely to have a stroke, three times more likely to develop heart failure, and twice as likely to die prematurely.4

Mass screening for atrial fibrillation using ECG together with heart failure biomarker does not prevent ischemic stroke or systemic embolism (blood clot) in older adults aged 75–76 years over 5 years follow-up, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year's ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug–2 Sept).

Early treatment of persistent AF can reduce the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent. Patients are often treated with AADs as frontline therapy for heart rhythm maintenance, though some can experience adverse effects and limited efficacy.

About AFib, AI and Clinical Trials from HRS 2024 The American Heart Association defines AFib as a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. 1 Approximately 33 million patients worldwide are living with AFib.

AFib occurs when the electrical signals in the upper chambers of your heart (the atria) become chaotic, causing the chambers to quiver instead of beating effectively. In some cases, AFib can also increase the risk of stroke, blood clots and heart failure. How Do You Know If You Have AFib?

MedicalNewsToday reported that people suffering from Covid-19 infection might develop blood clots in various arteries of their bodies which can cause improper circulation of blood. Apart from blood clotting, in some Covid-19 patients, a higher risk of heart failure and heart attacks has been witnessed by the hospitals.

If untreated, AFib can lead to or exacerbate heart failure, and it significantly increases a person’s risk of stroke. Catheter ablation was given the highest Class 1 treatment recommendation for appropriately selected patients, including those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Researchers found no significant difference between groups in terms of a composite of death, disabling stroke or rehospitalization for heart failure—which occurred in 9.4% of patients who received the Evolut valve and 10.6% of those receiving the SAPIEN valve.

Furthermore, resistance training appears to improve arterial stiffness and endothelial function — two important prognostic indicators — and reduce inflammation (C-reactive protein) and blood clotting risk. It’s never too late to start — but the earlier you start the better.

In a cohort of >3,000 people from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), sleeping <6 hours each night predicted a higher prevalence of stroke, heart attack, and chronic heart failure. There is a considerable temporal variation in blood pressure, blood clotting, and endothelial function.
