Associations Between Cancer and Atrial Fibrillation: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
In adult cancer patients, AF risk is the highest within 3 months after diagnosis and remains significantly elevated throughout survivorship but could be due to detection bias. Cancer risk is strongest within 3 months of AF diagnosis but significantly attenuated over time, suggesting detection bias and reverse causation.
