Can Mold Spores Cause Bouts Of Atrial Fibrillation Every Rainy Season?

I have recently had a bout of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. I have had it before as I recall about this time last year when it rained heavily I had a bout of A Fib. It is the rainy season again. I had another bout of A Fib. Unfortunately rainwater seeps in our home and dampens the carpet. It smells moldy and it will take a while before the carpet drys out. Can mold spores be a precipitating cause for my bout of atrial fibrillation?
