Epidemiology of heart failure.

abstract：BACKGROUND:New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) frequently occurs in association with postinfarction complications, particularly with heart failure (HF). AIMS:To evaluate whether postinfarction HF is associated with the subsequent development of AF and whether AF independently pre...
