AFib Facts1
•An estimated 2.7–6.1 million people in the United States have AFib. With the aging of the U.S. population, this number is expected to increase.
•Approximately 2% of people younger than age 65 have AFib, while about 9% of people aged 65 years or older have AFib.
•African Americans are less likely than those of European descent to have AFib.
•Because AFib cases increase with age and women generally live longer than men, more women than men experience AFib.
