Webinar series: Hypertension and Atrial Fibrillation: a risky couple even more when the family expands
Hypertension and atrial fibrillation, the connection could be closer than you think In fact, in epidemiological studies, the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increased by 50% in patients with hypertension (HT).
OMRON Healthcare launched a series of webinars to explore the connection between hypertension (HT), atrial fibrillation (AF), and other chronic diseases, investigating the link between HT, AF, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure (HF) and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) with expert guest speakers from Europe.
