Abstrakt:	Introduction: atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder. Its prevalence is underestimated in Africa, hence the initiation of the Atrial Fibrillation Registry In Countries of Africa (AFRICA). The aim of our study was to describe, within the framework of the AFRICA registry, the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Africa, particularly in Senegal. Methods: we performed a cross-sectional, retrospective, multicentric study conducted from January 1 st to December 31 st 2017, in three referral cardiology wards in Senegal. Results: one hundred and sixty-eight patients, with a mean age of 63 years, were selected, representing a hospital prevalence of 5.99%. There was a predominance of women with sex-ratio of 0.69. High blood pressure was the most frequent risk factor (24.4%). Heart failure was the most frequent circumstance of discovery (59.52%). AF was persistent in 52.24% and valvular AF accounted for 31% and was more frequent in young people (p= 0.005). Left ventricular systolic function was impaired in 55.7%, the left atrium was dilated in 70.83%. The strategy to reduce heart rate was the most used. Patients with CHA2DS2VASC ≥ 2 received anticoagulation with LMWH and oral relay maid mostly of VKA. The complications were dominated by heart failure (66.6%) and ischemic stroke cerebral (28%). Conclusion: atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac rhythm disorder. It is a major public health concern. Competing Interests: Les auteurs ne déclarent aucun conflit d´intérêts.
