Abstract

Objective

To evaluate paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence in Indian adults who completed 24-Hour Holter monitoring.

Methods

A total of 23,847 patients (36.9 % women) were analyzed for AF duration using a software algorithm.

Results

AF was diagnosed in 4153 (17.4 %) patients with a median AF duration of 13 min and 55 s.

Conclusion

AF prevalence was high and largely untreated. The short duration of AF episodes indicates a low likelihood of detection during clinical visits, highlighting its potential underestimation in Indian healthcare.

印度成年人 24 小时心电图中心房颤动的患病率。

目的评估完成 24 小时 Holter 监测的印度成年人中阵发性心房颤动（房颤）的发生率：使用软件算法对 23,847 名患者（36.9% 为女性）的房颤持续时间进行分析：结果：4153 名患者（17.4%）被诊断为房颤，中位房颤持续时间为 13 分 55 秒：结论：心房颤动发病率很高，且大多未得到治疗。心房颤动发作持续时间短，表明在临床就诊时被发现的可能性较低，这凸显了印度医疗机构可能低估了心房颤动的发病率。
