Women with atrial fibrillation and type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of hospitalization and undergo ablation or pacemaker implantation less frequently than men

Our study demonstrates an increase in hospitalization for AF in diabetic women. Women were older, had a higher comorbidity index and had CHAD2DS2-VASc score than men. Women with AF and T2DM undergo ablation or pacemaker implantation less frequently than their male counterparts. After multivariable adjustment sex did not predict mortality during admissions for AF.
