COPD or not COPD ?
The reason I mention this is that I wonder how many people out there are in a similar condition as being diagnosed with COPD yet don't have full blown

Copd and afib
I was interested in learning how many people with
emphysema
also have atrial fibrillation. I have read that there is a connection between these two conditions. Could you tell me if you have both. Thank you.
