Whether the two conditions are co-excisting and whether malignancies are associated with future atrial fibrillation is, however, unknown. Purpose: The aim of the present study was to examine the association between different types of cancer and future atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: Using national databases, the general Danish population was followed from 2000 until 2012. Patients
