Genetic ancestry and risk of atrial fibrillation in individuals of Black ethnicity in the UK Biobank.

Open heart - 31 Jul 2026

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Black individuals have a lower incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) than White individuals, despite a higher burden of traditional risk factors. Prior studies have suggested that European genetic ancestry may contribute to this paradox, but findings have been inconsistent. METHODS: We examined the association between European genetic ancestry and incident AF among 6920 UK Biobank (UKB) participants...
