Impaired fasting glucose: a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and heart failure

Abstract Background Dysglycaemia is associated with overall cardiovascular disease even at prediabetes levels. The aim of this study was to explore the association between glucose levels and future risk of developing atrial fibrillation and heart failure, respectively. Methods In this prospective co...
