Not than I'm aware: Atrial fibrillation is the most common rhythm abnormality that occurs; it may start spontaneously, usually people over 40, or it may be due to a valve disorder of the heart, like congenital heart disease, or mitral valve disease. Increased uric acid is largely a genetic cause, or from diuretics or dehydration, and can predispose to gout or kidney stones. There is no relationship between the two.
