A study by the Danish Centre for Health Services Research at Aalborg University reveals a significant increase in atrial fibrillation diagnoses and associated complications between 2000 and 2022. The study, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), suggests that one-third of the population will be diagnosed with the condition. Postdoctoral researcher at the center Nicklas Vinter, MD, PhD, acknowledges the challenge this poses for health services and emphasizes the need for preventive measures. "The main difficulty is preventing and treating heart failure after atrial fibrillation, which is currently not given much attention," said Vinter.
