Type 1 Diabetes May Increase Risk Of Atrial Fibrillation,

reported that a study suggests “type 1 diabetes raises the risk for atrial fibrillation, particularly in women.” Investigators found, during approximately “10 years’ follow-up, of those with type 1 diabetes, the risk for atrial fibrillation was 50% greater for women and only slightly elevated among men.” The study indicated “the excess risk was also linked to worse glycemic control and renal complications.” The findings were published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. https://login.medscape.com/login/sso/getlogin?urlCache=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tZWRzY2FwZS5jb20vdmlld2FydGljbGUvODg0NzMz&ac=401
