Why the study?
Is atrial fibrillation a stronger risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death in women compared with men?
Is atrial fibrillation a stronger risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death in women compared with men?
Atrial fibrillation confers a stronger relative risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality in women than it does in men.
Supports closer CVD surveillance in women with AF; confirms stronger relative risks and extends evidence for sex-tailored prevention.
Atrial fibrillation is a stronger risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death in women compared with men, though further research would be needed to determine any causality.
