Pain is associated with cardiovascular disease; however, its association with incident arrhythmias is unclear. We assessed associations between different pain characteristics (pain type, chronic pain, chronic widespread pain [chronic widespread pain], chronic musculoskeletal pain [chronic musculoskeletal pain], and number of chronic pain and chronic musculoskeletal pain sites) and incident cardiac arrhythmias, overall and by subtype.
