Clinical impact of hormone replacement therapy on lone atrial fibrillation in postmenopausal women: a nationwide cohort study

Individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF), especially women, have an increased risk of stroke and death. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is widely used to control symptoms of menopause and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. However, the association between HRT use and AF risk has been scarcely explored. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association between various types of HRT and lone AF in a national cohort of Korean menopausal women.
