Are right ventricular structure and function associated with incident atrial fibrillation in a population free of clinical cardiovascular disease?
Higher right ventricular ejection fraction and greater right ventricular mass are associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation in individuals without baseline cardiovascular disease.
Higher RV ejection fraction and greater RV mass were associated with an increased risk of AF in a multiethnic population free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline.
Chatterjee et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
