Cadmium exposure and incidence of heart failure and atrial fibrillation: a population-based prospective cohort study.
Author
Summary, in English
Cadmium is a non-essential toxic metal with multiple adverse health effects. Cadmium has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular diseases, but few studies have investigated heart failure (HF) and none of them reported atrial fibrillation (AF). We examined whether cadmium exposure is associated with incidence of HF or AF.
