Association of Autoimmune Vasculitis and Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Population‐Based Case‐Control Study

Association of Autoimmune Vasculitis and Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Population‐Based Case‐Control Study

Background Recent investigations suggest that inflammation and autoimmunity might have a role in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). Given that abnormal ventriculovascular coupling often coexists with AF, we hypothesize that autoimmune vasculitis plays a significant role in the pathogen...
