Core Tip
Core Tip: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and prediabetes share the same pathophysiological mechanisms, namely oxidative stress and inflammation. Batta et al commented on an article published recently regarding their negative impact on major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events in hospitalized AF patients. Further investigations are needed to clarify the interactions and causal relationships between AF and prediabetes.
