Effect of Atrial Fibrillation on Mortality, Stroke Risk, and Quality of Life Scores in Patients with Heart Failure (From the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation [ORBIT-AF])

This study aimed to determine the impact of heart failure (HF) on clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We analyzed data from ORBIT-AF, a national registry of 10,135 AF patients to determine associations between HF as well as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and outcomes, including stroke, mortality, and hospitalization using Cox multivariable modeling.
