(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-02)
      <p><i>Background:</i> The main aim was to examine age-specific risk factor associations with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) and their attributable fraction in a large European cohort. Additionally, we aimed to examine risk of stroke and mortality in relation to new-onset AF across age. <p><i>Methods:</i> We used individual-level data (n=66 951, 49.1% men, age range 40–98 years at baseline) from ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-13)
      Aims<p> <p>There is inconsistent evidence on the relation of alcohol intake with incident atrial fibrillation (AF), in particular at lower doses. We assessed the association between alcohol consumption, biomarkers, and incident AF across the spectrum of alcohol intake in European cohorts.<p> <p>Methods and results <p> In a community-based pooled cohort, we followed 107 845 individuals for the ...

      Despite marked progress in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF), detecting AF remains difficult and AF-related complications cause unacceptable morbidity and mortality even on optimal current therapy. This document summarizes the key outcomes of the 8th AFNET/EHRA Consensus Conference of the Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA). Eighty-three ...
    • Risk Factors, Subsequent Disease Onset, and Prognostic Impact of Myocardial Infarction and Atrial Fibrillation 

      Camen, Stephan; Csengeri, Dora; Geelhoed, Bastiaan; Niiranen, Teemu; Gianfagna, Francesco; Vishram-Nielsen, Julie K.; Costanzo, Simona; Söderberg, Stefan; Vartiainen, Erkki; Börschel, Christin S.; Donati, Maria Benedetta; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Ojeda, Francisco M.; Kontto, Jukka; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Jensen, Steen; Koenig, Wolfgang; Kee, Frank; de Gaetano, Giovanni; Zeller, Tanja; Jørgensen, Torben; Tunstall-Pedoe, Hugh; Blankenberg, Stefan; Kuulasmaa, Kari; Linneberg, Allan; Salomaa, Veikko; Iacoviello, Licia; Schnabel, Renate B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-24)
      BACKGROUND: Although myocardial infarction (MI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are frequent comorbidities and share common cardiovascular risk factors, the direction and strength of the association of the risk factors with disease onset, subsequent disease incidence, and mortality are not completely understood.<p> <p>METHODS AND RESULTS: In pooled multivariable Cox regression analyses, we examined ...
    • Risk prediction of atrial fibrillation and its complications in the community using hs troponin I

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-05)
      Aims - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is becoming increasingly common. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) do not explain all AF cases. Blood-based biomarkers reflecting cardiac injury such as high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) may help close this gap.<p> <p>Methods - We investigated the predictive ability of hsTnI for incident AF in 45,298 participants (median age 51.4 years, 45.0% men) ...
