Estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria are separately and independently associated with the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in general population.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria are separately and independently associated with the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in general population.

BACKGROUND: Both, proteinuria and a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are associated with greater cardiovascular mortality. However, few studies have explored that proteinuria and lower GFR are related with prevalent atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS: This cross-sectional study was based o...
