Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current evidence indicates that high serum urate levels are associated with an increased occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), and urate-lowering drugs could potentially reduce this risk. Nonetheless, the processes driving this relationship remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To identify key mediators linking urate to AF and assess the direct effects of potential drug targets on AF risk. METHODS: Genetic...
