Abstract
Purpose of the study: Estimating the prevalence of AF in the general population and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and methods: A review of scientific articles on the features of the course and prevalence of AF against the background of COVID-19 was carried out using a search in the Medline database (PubMed) and an interdisciplinary, scientific-practical, peer-reviewed journal for physicians CONSILIUM MEDICUM 2021.The literature found was analyzed and summarized by the authors of this literature review.

Conclusion: Thus, new-onset AF is both a marker of disease severity and a likely cause of adverse outcomes, similar to other manifestations of organ dysfunction during critical illness

Keywords: atrial fibrillation, COVID-19, prevalence, cardiovascular disease
