Genetic Ancestry and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation in Individuals of Black Ethnicity in the UK Biobank

2025-07-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> 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. <h4>Methods</h4> We examined the association between European genetic ancestry and incident AF among...
