Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are two common cardiovascular problems in the elderly and they are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in older patients with chronic heart failure. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study enrolled in 174 hospitalized older patients with heart failure in The Cardiovascular and Geriatric Center, Khanh Hoa Province Hospital from September 2020 to February 2021. The diagnosis of AF was based on history, ECG during hospital stay (tracing of ≥ 30s). Results: The mean age of the population was 76.8 ± 9 years. 49 of 174 patients had AF, at 28.2%. NYHA class had a statistically significant relationship with AF (p<0.05). Conclusions: Atrial fibrillation was a common problem in the elderly with chronic heart failure and screening for AF is necessary.
