Association Between Sodium- and Potassium-Related Urinary Markers and the Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation
AF prevalence was positively associated with the urinary Na/K ratio and estimated 24-h urinary sodium excretion, but not with estimated 24-h urinary potassium excretion. Although further prospective studies are warranted, the findings of this study suggest that salt intake may be a modifiable risk factor for AF.
