The American Indian population is known to experience high rates of cardiovascular disease and have a heightened vulnerability to severe outcomes driven by an overall poor health status and lower access to quality health care. Our group has previously published an analysis demonstrating that American Indians have the highest risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as of AF-related stroke, when compared with other races and ethnicities. Despite this, AF in this population has not been extensively studied and additional publications are scarce. Our review article provides an up-to-date summary of the relevant literature addressing the relationship between race, ethnicity, and AF by focusing on American Indians.

众所周知，美国印第安人群心血管疾病发病率高，且由于整体健康状况不佳和获得优质医疗服务的机会较少，他们更容易出现严重后果。我们的团队此前发表过一项分析，表明与其他种族相比，美国印第安人患心房颤动（AF）以及与AF相关中风的风险最高。尽管如此，该人群中的AF尚未得到广泛研究，相关出版物也很少。我们的综述文章通过聚焦美国印第安人，对有关种族、族裔与AF之间关系的相关文献进行了最新总结。
