BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of hospital admission, but few data on reasons for hospitalization and on the role of anti-arrhythmic drugs are available.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence rate and factors associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and AF-related hospitalizations.
METHODS: Prospective ongoing ATHERO-AF (Atherosclerosis in Atrial Fibrillation) cohort study enrolling AF patients on oral anticoagulants. Primary end points were all-cause, cardiovascular, and AF-related hospitalization, the latter defined as AF recurrences for paroxysmal AF and high-rate symptomatic AF episodes for persistent/permanent AF patients.
RESULTS: 2,782 patients were included (43.5% female; mean age was 74.6 ± 9.1 years). During a mean follow-up of 31 ± 26.8 months, 1,205 (12.1%/year) all-cause, 533 cardiac (5.7%/year), and 180 (2.0%/year) AF-related hospitalizations occurred. Predictors of AF-related hospitalizations were the use of flecainide/propafenone in both paroxysmal and persistent/permanent AF patients (HR: 1.861; 95% CI: 1.116 to 3.101 and 1.947; 95% CI: 1.069 to 3.548, respectively). Amiodarone (HR: 3.012; 95% CI: 1.835-4.943), verapamil/diltiazem (HR: 2.067; 95% CI: 1.117-3.825), and cancer (HR: 1.802; 95% CI: 1.057-3.070) but not beta-blockers and digoxin were associated with an increased risk of AF-related hospitalizations in persistent/permanent AF patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Elderly AF patients frequently undergo hospitalizations for both cardiovascular and noncardiovascular causes. The use of anti-arrhythmic drugs was associated with an increased risk of AF-related hospitalization suggesting a scarce effect of these drugs in preventing AF episodes. Therefore, their use should be carefully considered and reserved for symptomatic patients with frequent AF recurrences.
