Overview

Multicenter analysis reveals age and treatment strategies affect health status outcomes in atrial fibrillation.

Key Points

  • Older patients with atrial fibrillation exhibited smaller gains in health status post-treatment.
  • The mean improvement in AFEQT overall summary scores decreased with age, averaging 11.1 for those <65 years.
  • Rate control was more commonly pursued as age increased, with 23.4% in younger patients versus 66.4% in those ≥75 years.
  • Atrial fibrillation treatments led to measurable health status improvements, despite smaller gains in older adults.
