The most common cardiac arrhythmia is Atrial Fibrillation. The prevalence of AF has doubled in the last 30 years and has become a 21st century epidemic. Various studies have found that the overall burden of AF is larger in developed communities as well as higher-income nations. Data on AF were collected from the GBD database from 2010 to 2019, while HDI data was derived from the UNDP website. Men had a higher incidence than women, although women had a higher mortality. South America, West Europe, and South Africa had higher MIR (Mortality-to-Incidence Rate) than other countries. In the last study years, MIR significantly was higher in more developed countries. According to differences between genders and various countries, by expansion of the infrastructures and diagnostic methods such as electrocardiography and continuous training of doctors for early diagnosis, we can help in better management of AF and controlling this silent pandemic.
最常见的心律失常是心房颤动。在过去的 30 年中,房颤的患病率翻了一番,已成为 21 世纪的一种流行病。多项研究发现,在发达社区和高收入国家,房颤的总体负担更大。房颤数据来自 2010 年至 2019 年的全球疾病负担数据库,而人类发展指数数据则来自联合国开发计划署的网站。男性的发病率高于女性,尽管女性的死亡率更高。南美洲、西欧和南非的病死率与发病率比(MIR)高于其他国家。在过去的研究年份中,较发达国家的 MIR 显著更高。根据性别和国家的差异,通过扩大基础设施和诊断方法,如心电图和对医生进行早期诊断的持续培训,我们可以帮助更好地管理房颤并控制这种无声的大流行。
