Global epidemiology of atrial fibrillation
TL;DR: The available data on the global prevalence, risk factors, management, financial costs, and clinical burden of AF are discussed, and the current worldwide inadequacy of its treatment is highlighted.

The Global Burden of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation in Regions Outside North America and Europe
TL;DR: High-quality epidemiologic studies are clearly required to improve understanding of the worldwide burden of AF and stroke in AF, and major improvements in the provision of thromboprophylaxis are also needed in many countries.

TL;DR: Current knowledge gaps and areas that warrant future research are highlighted, which might advance understanding of variation in the risk factors and complications of AF, and ultimately aid more-tailored management of the arrhythmia.

Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for stroke: the Framingham Study.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the elderly are particularly vulnerable to stroke when atrial fibrillation is present, and the effects of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cardiac failure on the risk of stroke became progressively weaker with increasing age.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that atrial fibrillation is common among older adults and provides a contemporary basis for estimates of prevalence in the United States.

Dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E after myocardial infarction: results of the GISSI-Prevenzione trial
TL;DR: Dietary supplementation with n-3 PUFA led to a clinically important and statistically significant benefit and vitamin E had no benefit and its effects on fatal cardiovascular events require further exploration.

TL;DR: In addition to intrinsic cardiac causes such as valve disease and congestive heart failure, risk factors for cardiovascular disease also predispose to atrial fibrillation.

Secular Trends in Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation in Olmsted County, Minnesota, 1980 to 2000, and Implications on the Projections for Future Prevalence
Yoko Miyasaka,Marion E. Barnes,Bernard J. Gersh,Stephen S. Cha,Kent R. Bailey,Walter P. Abhayaratna,James B. Seward,Teresa S.M. Tsang +7 more
TL;DR: The age-adjusted incidence of AF increased significantly in Olmsted County during 1980 to 2000 and the projected number of persons with AF for the United States will exceed 10 million by 2050, underscoring the urgent need for primary prevention strategies against AF development.
