Although we have known for almost 100 years, atrial fibrillation is the most common of serious cardiac rhythm disturbances, which is responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality in the general population. The study aims to evaluate the clinical profile of admitted patients along with different types of morbidities and mortality in atrial fibrillation patients. Our study comprised of 130 admitted atrial fibrillation patients in total period of 2 years. All patients were examined & investigated. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation increased with advancing age. Cardiac failure was the most frequent complication followed by hypotensive shock. As far as morbidity is concerned, cardiac failure is the most frequent complication followed by hypotensive shock and thrombo embolism. Regarding mortality celphos poisoning has the worst prognosis, followed by coronary artery disease and rheumatic heart disease.
