Lower heart rates and beta-blockers are associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation

Lower heart rates and beta-blockers are associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation

Background: Lower heart rates (HRs) prolong diastole, which increases filling pressures and wall stress. As a result, lower HRs may be associated with higher brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and incident atrial fibrillation (AF). Beta-blockers may increase the risk for AF due to suppression of...
