Figure 1
A depiction of the atrial fibrillation prevalence distribution found by each study published to date. This depiction uses the sex-specific average rates of AF prevalence, grouped by age. The thick line represents average AF prevalence rates by age group, as derived from a pooled analysis of the individual studies weighted by sample size. (Adapted from Andrade et al. Circ Res 2014.) AF, atrial fibrillation.

Investigations and associated risk factors useful to predict the development and progression of AF in HF patients. AF, atrial fibrillation; BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; CRP, C-reactive protein; ECG, electrocardiogram; HF, heart failure; LA, left atrium; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
