Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Early detection and management of atrial fibrillation (AF) are crucial. Combined models incorporating genetic risks and clinical risks have been developed to improve predictive ability. Although sex differences have been reported in many aspects of AF, sex differences in genetic risk have not been studied. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the sex difference in the effect of polygenic...
