The risks associated with new-onset AF among middle-aged women and populations with a low co-morbidity burden are poorly defined. To examine the association between incident AF and mortality in initially healthy women, and to evaluate the influence of associated cardiovascular co-morbidities on risk. Between 1993 and March 16, 2010, 34722 women participating in the Women's Health Study underwent prospective follow-up. Participants (95% white) were >45 years (median (interquartile range) 53 (49–59) years) and free of AF and cardiovascular disease at baseline. Cox proportional-hazards models with time-varying covariates were utilized to determine the risk of events among women with incident AF. Secondary analyses were performed among women with paroxysmal AF. Primary outcomes included total, cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular mortality. Secondary outcomes included stroke, congestive heart failure and myocardial infarction. During a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 15.4 (14.7–15.8) years, 1011 women developed AF. Incidence rates (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) per 1000 person-years among women with and without AF were 10.8 (8.1–13.5) and 3.1 (2.9–3.2) for all-cause, 4.3 (2.6–6.0) and 0.57 (0.5–0.6) for cardiovascular and 6.5 (4.4–8.6) and 2.5 (2.4–2.6) for non-cardiovascular mortality, respectively. In multivariable models, hazard ratios (HRs) (95% CIs) of new-onset AF for all-cause, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality were 2.14 (1.64–2.77), 4.18 (2.69–6.51) and 1.66 (1.19–2.30), respectively. Adjustment for non-fatal cardiovascular events potentially on the causal pathway to death attenuated these risks, but incident AF remained associated with all mortality components (HR 1.70 (1.30–2.22)), 2.57 (1.63–4.07) and 1.42 (1.02–1.98)). Among women with paroxysmal AF (n=656), the increase in mortality risk was limited to cardiovascular causes (HR 2.94 (1.55–5.59)). Among a group of healthy women, new-onset AF was independently associated with cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, with some of the risk potentially explained by non-fatal cardiovascular events.
