The association of exhaled carbon monoxide with atrial fibrillation and left atrial size in the Framingham Heart Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) is associated with subclinical and overt cardiovascular disease and stroke. The association between eCO with left atrial size, prevalent, or incident atrial fibrillation (AF) are uncertain.

Methods

eCO was measured using an Ecolyzer instrument among Framingham Heart Study Offspring and Omni participants who attended an examination from 1994 to 1998. We analyzed multivariable-adjusted (current smoking, and other covariates including age, race, sex, height, weight, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension treatment, prevalent myocardial infarction [MI], and prevalent heart failure [HF]). Cox and logistic regression models assessed the relations between eCO and incident AF (primary model), and prevalent A
