Heart-age clock linked to heart disease in three human cohorts

Higher heart age relative to actual age was linked to atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat, with hazard ratios of 1.26–1.37, indicating higher relative risk.Higher heart age relative to actual age was linked to atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat, with hazard ratios of 1.26–1.37, indicating higher relative risk.
