Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation in a Racially Diverse Cohort: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)

BackgroundExisting equations for prediction of atrial fibrillation (AF) have been developed and validated in white and African‐American populations. Whether these models adequately predict AF in more racially and ethnically diverse populations is unknown. Methods and ResultsWe studied 6663 men and w...
