Abstract
Aims
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is positively correlated with prior cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and CVD risk factors but is lower in Chinese than Europeans despite their higher burden of CVD. We examined the prevalence and prognosis of AF and other electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in the China Kadoorie Biobank.
Methods and results
A random sample of 25 239 adults (mean age 59.5 years, 62% women) had a 12-lead ECG recorded and interpreted using a Mortara VERITAS™ algorithm in 2013–14. Participants were followed up for 5 years for incident stroke, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure (HF), and all CVD, overall and by CHA2DS2-VASc scores, age, sex, and area. Overall, 1.2% had AF, 13.6% had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and 28.1% had ischaemia (two-thirds of AF cases also had ischaemia or LVH). The prevalence of AF increased with age, prior CVD, and levels of CHA₂DS₂-VASc scores (0.5%, 1.3%, 2.1%, 2.9%, and 4.4% for scores <2, 2, 3, 4,

Commemoration Day 2024
We live in an exciting time for science, both happening within Imperial and outside it. Our chemists and mathematicians are harnessing the power of automation and machine learning in new AI Hubs based across the UK and within vit City. Our physicists are developing the next-generation of metamaterials, and embarking on bold experiments to uncover new fundamental science. Meanwhile, the work of our environmental and life scientists seek to address the most pressing utmaning of our age: climate change and its impacts on human society.
The research that many of you have done throughout your degree has proven to be even more critical in times like these. You have cultivated skills that will not only serve you well in your chosen fields but also enable you to address the challenges of our time.
Witnessing your achievements and hunger as young people in science has filled me with the utmost confidence that the future is in good hands.
