Asymptomatic versus symptomatic atrial fibrillation: A systematic review of age/gender differences and cardiovascular outcomes
Open accessAbstract
Up to 40% of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are asymptomatic. Despite this, scarce data are available about asymptomatic AF, with regard to its clinical profile and relationship to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular risks. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis was to study the relationship between age and gender with asymptomatic AF and to establish whether patients with asymptomatic AF have a higher risk of death (all-cause and cardiovascular) and stroke/systemic thromboembolism, when compared to symptomatic AF patients. After a comprehensive search, 6 studies (2 randomized clinical trials and 4 observational studies) were entered in the meta-analysis. Despite significant heterogeneity, our data show that the prevalence of females amongst asymptomatic AF group was significantly less compared to the symptomatic AF group (RR, 0.57; 95% CI: 0.52-0.64). No difference in age between asymptomatic and symptomatic AF patients (P=0.72) was seen. No differences were found in all-cause death between patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic AF (RR, 1.38; 95% CI: 0.82-2.17), nor in cardiovascular death (RR, 0.85; 95% CI: 0.53-1.36) or stroke/thromboembolism (RR, 1.72 95% CI: 0.59-5.08). Asymptomatic AF is more associated with male sex, irrespective of age. Both general and cardiovascular death risks as well as thromboembolic risk do not seem to be affected by the asymptomatic clinical status. Symptomatic status should not determine our approach to stroke prevention and other cardiovascular prevention therapies, amongst patients with AF.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
