Modification of cardiovascular disease risk factors may reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation beyond addressing intrinsic cardiac causes.
Cardiovascular disease risk factors predispose to atrial fibrillation, suggesting that modifying these risk factors may reduce the incidence of AF.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In addition to intrinsic cardiac causes such as valve disease and congestive heart failure, risk factors for cardiovascular disease also predispose to atrial fibrillation. Modification of risk factors for cardiovascular disease may have the added benefit of diminishing the incidence of atrial fibrillation.
