High job strain was associated with higher AF incidence; leaves open whether reducing occupational stress prevents AF.

Does high job strain increase the risk of incident atrial fibrillation in men?
Hazard Ratio: 1.32 (95% CI 1.003–1.75)
Exposure to occupational psychosocial stress defined as high strain may be associated with a small increased risk for incident atrial fibrillation in men.
Torén et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in atrial fibrillation (n=6,035). High job strain vs. Low job strain was evaluated on atrial fibrillation (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.003 to 1.75). High occupational psychosocial strain was associated with an increased risk for atrial fibrillation (HR 1.32; 95% CI 1.003 to 1.75).
