Overview

• Study finds a 97% increased risk of atrial fibrillation with combined job strain and effort-reward imbalance.
• High job strain alone is associated with an 83% higher risk of developing AFib.
• Effort-reward imbalance alone raises AFib risk by 44%.
• Researchers suggest including work-related stressors in preventive health strategies.
• Future studies should explore workplace interventions to reduce stress and associated health risks.
