Age at first diagnosis

Atrial fibrillation: median 73 across all diagnoses: median 35

Age at first diagnosis Bar chart. Age at first diagnosis. 80 patients in all; the largest group is 70 to 79 with 23; Atrial fibrillation: median 73 years; across all diagnoses: median 35 years. 0 10 20 40 to 49: 9 patients 50 to 59: 15 patients 60 to 69: 11 patients 70 to 79: 23 patients 80 to 89: 15 patients 90 and over: 7 patients 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 years
Half of these patients were 73 or older. Across all diagnoses, half were 35 or older. The 70 to 79 hold the most, 23 patients. A few first diagnoses are back-dated into infancy, and some conditions are handed an age by the decade, which draws a spike rather than a spread.
