Is there a bidirectional causal association between kidney function and atrial fibrillation?
A bidirectional causal association exists between kidney function and atrial fibrillation, highlighting shared genetic architecture as potential therapeutic targets.
Our results supported a bidirectional causal association between kidney function and AF. The shared genetic architecture between kidney dysfunction and AF might represent potential important therapeutic targets to prevent both conditions in the general population.
Geurts et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
