Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the causal effects between atrial fibrillation (AF) and kidney function. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a bidirectional summary-level Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis implementing the results from a large-scale genome-wide association study for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by the CKDGen (N = 765 348) and AF (N = 588 190) to identify genetic...
