Changes in glomerular filtration rate and outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Journal: American heart journal
PMID: 29653646

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with kidney disease are more likely to develop atrial fibrillation (AF) than individuals with normal renal function, and more likely to suffer ischemic stroke (IS)/thromboembolism (TE). We investigated the relationship of kidney function evolution to IS/TE, mortality and bleeding in AF patients.
