This study from UCF shows "marijuana users had a 35 percent increased likelihood of later developing AF".

Here's the UCF study from October 18, 2022:

Thanks for your comment. The thing I took away from that study was that inhalation of particulates from smoking or Vaping cannabis has similar bad effects to smoking cigarettes.
I've been using tinctures and edibles (gummies) to avoid that although I do vape on occasion.
I guess my question is whether marijuana use generally is a problem for a preexisting Afib condition. I am 71 years old and have had Afib for 15 years. It was most likely triggered initially through alcohol abuse. (I have not had a drink now in 4 years). I have been using marijuana
now for 2 years. I have not smoked cigarettes in 50 years.
