Asymptomatic atrial fibrillation is associated with mortality in humans After adjusting for interim nonfatal cardiovascular disease (HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.67–1.45).
“After adjusting for interim nonfatal CVD, mortality risk was completely attenuated in patients with asymptomatic AF (hazard ratio 0.98; 95% confidence interval 0.67-1.45)”

Systolic blood pressure is associated with asymptomatic atrial fibrillation in humans (Compared with symptomatic atrial fibrillation).
“Male sex, body mass index, and elevated systolic blood pressure were more strongly associated with asymptomatic than symptomatic AF (P differential < .04 for all).”

Asymptomatic atrial fibrillation is linked with a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in humans (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.2).
“participants classified as asympAF15 had a 62% higher risk of incident MACE in adjusted Cox PH models (hazard ratio 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.2) over six years.”
