Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and worsening renal function (WRF) by analyzing the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) data of 131 patients over a period of 1,000 days.
- Results showed that 41.2% of patients developed WRF, often occurring within 100 days before or after the AF diagnosis, regardless of age or baseline eGFR.
- A positive eGFR slope prior to AF onset was strongly associated with subsequent WRF, indicating a possible underlying kidney issue in these patients.
