Hi All
I was wondering if anyone has heard of studies that link autoimmune problems such as vitiligo and AF?

Oh Yes! I also handed quite a few to my Electrophysiologist to read.
Trouble is that as far as I can see, although there is quite a lot of anecdotal evidence and a good % of people with Autoimmune conditions also have arrythmias so are links (the percentages are so high - eg: A Patient Survey was done through EHealth asking how many people with Myasthenia - a fairly rare auto-immune condition - had arrythmias = 30%).
Autoimmune also has been linked with Dysautonomia which of course is linked with low BP/high HR/Arrythmias so it is not unusual for people like me to suffer all 3 dysfunctions.
What is lacking is clinical studies and wholistic research, but it is beginning to happen.
I think there has to be some connection for any condition where the body attacks itself.
Here is just one very general study.
