| Core Tip |
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, was strongly associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Both Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) increase the risk of AF, with a higher risk in patients with CD than UC. And the impact of IBD on developing AF was stronger in patients receiving immunomodulators, systemic corticosteroids or biologics agents, which are prescribed for moderate-to-severe disease than patients without them. Therefore, physicians need to consider screening for AF in patients with IBD, particularly those who use more potent therapies. |
