Identification of precursors of atrial fibrillation (AF) may lead to early detection and prevent associated morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to examine the association between frequent atrial premature complexes (APCs) and incidence of AF. For this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed Holter recordings obtained from 2000 to 2010 of 1,357 veterans free of AF at baseline. All pertinent data in electronic medical records were reviewed to ascertain baseline characteristics. Holier groups with frequent (>= 100/day) and infrequent (= 3 APCs (>= 20 runs/day), and longer runs (>= 10 beats/run) were significantly associated with AF (BR 3.11, 3.67, 2.94, and 1.73, respectively, all p = 100/day) are associated with greater risk of AF.
