Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and increased risk of atrial fibrillation in the elderly: A longitudinal cohort study
This study highlights a significant association between MASLD and an increased risk of developing AF. The elevated risk in patients with MASLD may involve mechanisms extending beyond traditional cardiometabolic factors, particularly in individuals with lower BMI. Further experimental research is warranted to elucidate the underlying pathways linking MASLD and AF.
