Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endurance sport has been associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which this is due to exercise burden or genetic predisposition. METHODS: Former rowers aged 45-80 years who competed at international championships were compared with a control group extracted from the UK Biobank, matched (1:100) for age and sex. Evaluation...
