A member asked:

Cause of atrial fibrilation in gay men?

Dr. John Garner answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Same as straight men: There's no "gay" factors that contribute to fib that we're aware of. So it's the same as anyone else - advancing age, and other disease in the heart that stresses the atria (top chambers).

Dr Torres agreed
