Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The potential bidirectional causal association between kidney function and atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. METHODS: We conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. From multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we retrieved genetic variants associated with kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate based on creatinine (eGFRcreat), blood urea...
