Atrial Fibrillation and Documented Heart Failure in Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19: A Secondary Analysis of a Single-Centre Cohort from Western Romania.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study found that among 395 people hospitalized with COVID-19, those with both atrial fibrillation and heart failure had worse outcomes—but since it is observational, it does not prove that treating one condition will improve the other. The study looked back at records from 2022–2024.
