Highlights the high prevalence of atrial fibrillation in end-stage renal disease and the associated increased risk of stroke and mortality.
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients have been found to exhibit high prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation (AF), which demonstrates the possibility of a relationship of causality between the two conditions. The increased risk of stroke and mortality among ESRD patients with AF has also prompted a desire to understand the exact linkages between these different conditions.
