How common is atrial fibrillation (AF)?

johnwalker

Hello,
It is common but mainly occurs in older people. Nearly 50,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the UK. It becomes more common with increasing age. About 1 in 200 people aged 50-60 years have AF. This rises to around 1 in 10 people aged over 80 years. It is uncommon in younger people unless they have certain heart conditions.

Thanks !

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
