What is the link between Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Heart Failure?

[SamAdmin]

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure have been described as growing epidemics worldwide, with the number of people affected by both conditions increasing. AF is the most common arrhythmia, affecting 1.5 million people in the UK alone, and potentially 300,000 undiagnosed.

If AF is left undetected and treated, this may lead to heart failure. For further advice and support. please download the 'Atrial Fibrillation AF and Heart Failure' booklet from the AF Association website:
