Why the study?
Does chronic kidney disease associate with impaired left atrial reservoir function in a general population without overt cardiac disease?
Does chronic kidney disease associate with impaired left atrial reservoir function in a general population without overt cardiac disease?
Chronic kidney disease is independently associated with impaired left atrial reservoir function in individuals without overt cardiac disease, suggesting a potential mechanism for increased atrial fibrillation risk.

CKD-linked LA changes may mediate AF risk in general populations; leaves open mechanisms and needs prospective validation.
