Genetic Predisposition to a Higher Whole Body Water Mass May Increase the Risk of Atrial Fibrillation: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Background: Observational studies have found an association between increased whole body water mass (BWM) and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the causality has yet to be confirmed. To provide feasible protective measures on disease development, we performed Mendelian randomization (MR) design to...
