BACKGROUND: Observational studies have shown that obesity is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the underlying genetic mechanisms and direction of causality remain unclear. This study aims to systematically investigate the genetic associations, direction of causality and key pleiotropic genes linking obesity and AF by integrating large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS)...
