Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation on a 24-hour Holter in Adult Indians.

To evaluate paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence in Indian adults who completed 24-Hour Holter monitoring. A total of 23,847 patients (36.9% women) were analyzed for AF duration using using a software algorithm. AF was diagnosed in 4,153 (17.4%) patients with a median AF duration of 13 minutes and 55 seconds. 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.
