Abstract

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure (CHF) are frequently coexistent, but their temporal relationship in Japanese patients is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: 248 AF patients (63.6+/-10.0 years old) without a history of CHF were enrolled for analysis of the development of CHF during the follow-up period of 49.7+/-29.8 months. Of them, 195 did not have structural heart disease, 22 had dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 18 had an old myocardial infarction, and 15 had valvular heart disease. During the follow-up period, 16 patients (6.5%) developed CHF requiring hospitalization (2.0% per patient-year). Although age, gender, fractional shortening, left atrial diameter, hypertension and diabetes mellitus were not associated with CHF development, existence of structural heart disease and left ventricular hypertrophy by Cornell voltage criteria on ECG were significantly associated with CHF development. Cox-Hazard regression analysis revealed that the existence of structural heart disease was the only independent risk factor (hazard ratio 3.50, 95% confidence interval 1.21-10.1). CONCLUSIONS: In the present group of Japanese AF patients, CHF requiring hospitalization occurred at a rate of 2% per year. The existence of structural heart disease was the only independent risk factor in this population.

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.
