Blood pressure status affects atrial fibrillation in diabetic end-stage renal disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing as the elderly population continues to increase. Chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension are known risk factors for AF. Since multimorbidity exists in chronic kidney disease, it is difficult to determine the impact of hypertension alone. Furthermore, little is known about the impact of hypertension on predicting AF in diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Here, we evaluated the effect of differential blood pressure control on AF prevalence among the diabetic ESRD population.

Methods

From the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, 2 717 072 individuals with diabetes underwent health examinations during 2005-2019. Exactly 13 859 individuals with diabetic ESRD without a prior history
