Summary:Graphical Abstract Graphical Abstract Cardiometabolic risk factors, most notably obesity and hypertension, have the greatest population-attributable risk (PAR) for atrial fibrillation (AF). The five individual risk factors with the highest PAR for AF were hypertension, obesity, acute illness, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation. We propose five key strategies to manage these risk factors for the primary prevention of AF.
