Insomnia And The Atrial Fibrillation Connection
Insomnia And The Atrial Fibrillation Connection Overview This study sought to address a notable gap in the existing literature regarding the potential link between insomnia and the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), a common cardiac arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity and mortality. By utilizing data from the HUNT study, a comprehensive population-based
Heart Failure Polygenic Risk Predictions
Heart Failure Polygenic Risk Predictions Overview This study explores the genetic associations and risk prediction capabilities of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) derived from risk factors shared with heart failure (HF) in bi-racial populations. The risk factors considered include atrial fibrillation (AF), body mass index (BMI), coronary heart disease (CHD), systolic blood pressure
