To investigate the epidemiological association and relationship between atrial fibrillation and the subsequent risk of developing cancer.
Analyzed longitudinal cohort data to assess incident cancer diagnoses among individuals with and without atrial fibrillation.
Demonstrated an increased risk of subsequent cancer diagnoses following the onset of atrial fibrillation.
Highlighted shared pathological pathways, including systemic inflammation and common lifestyle risk factors, linking cardiac arrhythmias to malignancy.
