Abstract
In a national community cohort comprised of over 500,000 individuals, we determined the frequency of cardiac rhythm abnormalities. We found that abnormalities of cardiac rhythm are prevalent in community-dwelling adults, affecting > 2% of individuals. New rhythm abnormalities developed at a rate of nearly 0.5%/year, similar to rates of rates of stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Risk of incident cardiac rhythm abnormalities is increased in the setting of older age, male sex, traditional cardiac risk factors, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure.1 Author
