Arteriosclerotic calcification and new-onset atrial fibrillation among men and women from the general population: An observational and Mendelian randomization analysis

Background and Aims: Limited population-based data on the, potentially sex-specific, relationship between arteriosclerotic calcification at different sites with atrial fibrillation (AF) exist. Moreover, it remains unclear whether arteriosclerosis is causally associated with AF.
