Abstract 281: Contemporary Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation Among Medicare Beneficiaries, 2004-2013 [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusions: Between years 2004 and 2013, the overall incidence and prevalence of AF among a 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries stabilized. There were, however, differences across racial groups, with a slight decline in incidence among white men and women, which was not observed in black men and women.
