RESUMO
A number of concomitant conditions and cardiovascular diseases are closely related to the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), AF recurrence, and AF-associated complications. Detection, prevention, and treatment of such conditions are essential for the prevention of AF and its disease burden. This article discusses the clinical conditions and concomitant diseases associated with AF including heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, chronic respiratory diseases, and kidney disease based on the 2016 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the management of AF and recently updated clinical data, particularly in patients with heart failure. Furthermore, we provide recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of these conditions.
