Occurrence of clinical outcomes was counted between baseline and 12 months in patients with AF or a history of AF, excluding permanent AF or transient/reversible causes of AF. Cardiovascular death recorded at 12 months includes any events reported until the end of the 15th month after baseline. AF indicates atrial fibrillation; RECORD‐AF, The global Registry on Cardiac rhythm disorders assessing the control of Atrial Fibrillation.
