: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia worldwide. The relationship between AF and iron deficiency is poorly understood. : We conducted an observational study investigating the prevalence of iron deficiency in those with AF. Iron deficiency was defined by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) criteria for iron deficiency in heart failure. : Of 134 eligible subjects, 81 (60.4%) met the ACC definition of iron deficiency in heart failure. Those who were iron deficient were more likely to be female (OR 1.876, = 0.005), have a history of diabetes mellitus (OR 3.085, = 0.001) a history of stroke (OR 3.147, = 0.016), and have higher CHADS-VASc ( ≤ 0.0001) and Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (CCI) ( = 0.007). : The prevalence of iron deficiency in those with AF appears high and warrants evaluation in a prospective study.
心房颤动（AF）是全球最常见的持续性心律失常。AF 与缺铁之间的关系尚未得到充分了解。
我们进行了一项观察性研究，调查了 AF 患者中铁缺乏症的患病率。缺铁症根据美国心脏病学会（ACC）心力衰竭中铁缺乏症的标准来定义。
在 134 名符合条件的受试者中，81 名（60.4%）符合 ACC 心力衰竭中铁缺乏症的定义。缺铁的患者更可能是女性（OR 1.876， = 0.005），有糖尿病病史（OR 3.085， = 0.001），有中风病史（OR 3.147， = 0.016），并且 CHADS-VASc 评分更高（ ≤ 0.0001）和 Charlson 合并症指数评分（CCI）更高（ = 0.007）。
AF 患者中铁缺乏症的患病率似乎很高，需要在前瞻性研究中进行评估。
