Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of atrial fibrillation (AF) prediction models tailored for individuals without prior cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) to facilitate early intervention. This study aimed to develop and validate an AF prediction model using machine-learning methods based on routine biomarkers in middle-aged individuals without overt CVD.
