Abstract：The prevalence of both atrial fibrillation(AF)and debility increases with physiological age and often oc-curs simultaneously.The reported prevalence of AF combined with debility is variable and may depend on different tools used to assess debility.The two are closely related,with debility increasing the risk of poor prognosis in AF and AF in-creasing the likelihood of debility.Frailty has an impact on treatment options for AF,and it may reduce anticoagulation for AF,but there is less evidence about the impact of frailty on antiarrhythmic therapy and surgical treatments such as radiofre-quency ablation.Therefore,debilitation assessment is recommended when developing an individualized treatment plan for AF in the c1inic.
