摘要: Purpose We studied incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in the prospective community-based Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Reportedly, non-Hispanic blacks (NHBs) have a lower AF burden compared with their white (NHW) counterparts. Information on epidemiology Hispanic and Asian populations is much more limited.
