Abstract
This article aims to analyze the epidemiological panorama of hospitalizations and deaths due to atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, in Brazil, in the last five years. Secondary data relating to hospital morbidity due to atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter available on the website of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) was used. In Brazil, 335,317 hospitalizations for atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were recorded between 2019 and 2023. It is concluded that the incidence of atrial fibrillation and flutter was higher in male patients, with women being less affected.
