Research about AF in women

Unfortunately the website wont't let me share a link. However there is a report on the BBC website bbc.co.uk about research into women with AF, which concludes that we may be at greater risk than men. I am pretty sure that I have seen similar conclusions before but this is a review carried out at Oxford University and reported in the BMJ.

I have watched this. I just wish they could tell us why we are at more risk than men and if there is anything we can do about it. if not what is the point.
