Atrial fibrillation & flutter , mild copd now minor leaky aortic valve is all this connected ?

Maybe: Sometimes COPD is connected to a-fib, especially if the COPD is not well controlled. But, also, the leaky value could be the cause of the a-fib too. Sometimes, it is hard to tell which is causing or hurting what. The most important thing is to get all conditions treated to the best ability.

Yes and no: Maybe, maybe not. COPD and the medications used to treat it may make the atrial fibrillation worse, or the leaky aortic valve may worsen the copd. Or they may be totally independent. Get regular follow up with your doctor!
