Raised uric acid levels flag AF risk: study
The association was significant irrespective of CVD, researchers say
Middle-aged adults with elevated serum uric acid are at increased risk of new-onset AF in later life regardless of traditional cardiovascular risk factors or comorbidities, a large study suggests.
Swedish researchers have found that those with higher uric acid concentrations are up to 45% more likely to develop the condition than patients with relatively low concentrations.
