In the hospitalized elderly, arrhythmia is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality, and left atrium size is an independent predictor of both arrhythmia and mortality, suggesting that links exist. Therapeutic management could therefore focus more on prevention of heart structure remodelling than on traditional risk factors.
