What is the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and its predictors in nondialysis patients with chronic kidney disease?
In nondialysis CKD patients, AF prevalence is increased and is independently predicted by age, white race, larger left atrial diameter, lower systolic blood pressure, and congestive heart failure.
The prevalence of AF was increased in our population, and independent predictors were age, white race, increasing left atrial diameter, lower systolic BP, and congestive heart failure.
Ananthapanyasut et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
