Objective To investigate the association between echocardiographic measurements with emphasis on diastolic dysfunction and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a population-based cohort study. Methods We followed 2406 participants from the Tromsø Study from 1994 to 2010. Left atrial (LA) size and mit...
