Abstract

In this thesis we examined various risk factors and sex differences and their influence on the atrial fibrillation development in the general population. We found that vascular-, cardiac autonomic-, inflammatory-, traditional-, novel-, and sex-specific risk factors are implicated in the etiology of atrial fibrillation.
