Ladies with a typical heart rhythm abnormality  might be at an expanded danger of creating cancer, especially of the colon, another study proposes.

"We found a huge relationship between atrial fibrillation and tumor," said lead specialist Dr. David Conen, of the University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland.

In any case, the study can't demonstrate that atrial fibrillation causes malignancy, just that an affiliation exists between them, Conen included.

Among almost 35,000 solid ladies took after for around 20 years, the individuals who created atrial fibrillation had a 60 percent expanded danger of growth finding, the specialists found.

The affiliation might be because of a genuine association between atrial fibrillation and growth, despite the fact that this appear to be more outlandish than that individuals have shared danger variables for both conditions, including smoking and weight, he said.

Men most likely have the same danger, he said. "There is no motivation to trust the danger isn't the same in men as in ladies," Conen clarified.

As indicated by Conen, the most ideal approach to lessen the danger of atrial fibrillation or tumor is to get in shape, quit smoking and to work out. "On the off chance that you diminish hazard elements, you are additionally going to lessen disease hazard," he said.

For the study, Conen and partners took after about 35,000 ladies matured 45 and more established who participated in the Women's Health Study. The members did not have atrial fibrillation or other heart issues or growth when the study started. The ladies were taken after somewhere around 1993 and 2013 to check whether they created atrial fibrillation or tumor.

Amid the subsequent period, 4 percent of the ladies created atrial fibrillation and around 15 percent were determined to have growth, the examiners found.

Conen's group said that atrial fibrillation was a noteworthy danger component for growth, even in the wake of considering other danger variables.

The expanded danger was higher inside three months subsequent to creating atrial fibrillation, yet the danger held on over the long haul, and an expanded danger of biting the dust from tumor was likewise seen, by study.

The specialists took a gander at lung, bosom and colon growth. The most grounded relationship with atrial fibrillation was seen for colon malignancy, Conen said.

On the other hand, among ladies who had growth, the danger for creating atrial fibrillation was seen just in the three months after finding, he said.

Atrial fibrillation is the most well-known kind of anomalous pulse, and is connected with an expanded danger of stroke and other heart issues, the study creators noted.

The report was distributed online May 25 in the diary JAMA Cardiology.

Dr. Emelia Benjamin is a teacher of pharmaceutical and the study of disease transmission at Boston University School of Medicine and co-creator of a going with diary article. She brought up that "atrial fibrillation influences around 33 million individuals around the world, so it's an exceptionally basic condition."

Benjamin doesn't trust that atrial fibrillation causes malignancy, so she said that individuals with the condition ought not stress over additionally creating growth.

"I don't need individuals to be worried that on the off chance that they have atrial fibrillation they are going to get growth," she said. "I don't need individuals to stress over that."
