| Core Tip |
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of arrhythmia, is on course to reach epidemic proportions in the elderly. AF is a commonly encou?ntered comorbidity in patients with acute coronary syndromes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Multiple studies have been conducted to determine if AF has an independent role in the overall mortality of such patients. Our review suggests that atrial fibrillation has an independent adverse prognostic impact on the clinical outcomes of acute coronary syndromes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. |
