Causal Effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Atrial Fibrillation: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has shown to be associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in observational studies. Whether this association reflect causal effect is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causal effect of OSA on atrial fibrillation. Methods...
