Prevalence of atrial fibrillation on a 24-hour Holter in adult Indians. Indian Heart Journal. 2024 Jun; 76(3): 218-2200019-4832https://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/242720Objective: 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.HolterParoxysmal atrial fibrillationIndiaJournal ArticleIndiaApollo Hospital Hyderguda, Hyderabad, Telangana, IndiaMadras Medical Mission, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, IndiaRuby Hall Clinic, Pune, Maharashtra, IndiaApollo Hospital, Greams Road, Chennai, IndiaFortis Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi, IndiaLilavati Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, IndiaEternal Heart Care Centre and Research Institute, Jaipur, rajasthan, IndiaBombay Hospital Institute of Medical Science & Jupiter Hospital and Horizon Group of Hospital, Thane, Maharashtra, IndiaJubilee Mission Medical College & Research Centre, Thrissur, Kerala, IndiaShree Saibaba Heart Institute and Research Centre, Nashik, Maharashtra, IndiaOlympus Hospital, Rajkot, Gujarat, IndiaCrescent Hospital & Heart Centre, Nagpur, Maharashtra, IndiaShalby Hospital, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, IndiaGKNM Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, IndiaPurna Heart Institute, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaKIMS Hospital, Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaRSV Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, IndiaDepartment of Medical Affairs, Eris Lifesciences Ltd., Ahmedabad, Gujarat, IndiaCARIM School for Cardiovascular Diseases, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands
