Abstract

Background: Little is known about sex differences in the prevalence, treatment, and outcome of atrial fibrillation complicating acute heart failure. Methods and Results: Among 957 patients (429 women, 528 men), included in the BIO-HF registry, 45.2% (n = 194) of the women and 45.1% (n = 238) of the men were admitted with atrial fibrillation. The primary end point was a composite of 1-year all-cause mortality and hospitalization for heart failure. Adjusted 1-year mortality and hospitalization rates were similar between sexes (women 38.5%, men 36.0%; OR for female gender: 1.1, 95% CI 0.65-1.86; P = .71. A significant interaction between female sex and age (P = .002) was observed; with worse prognosis for women
