Atrial fibrillation is the most common chronic ... showing pathologic changes of fibrosis and inflammation. The exact mechanisms of this remodeling remain unclear. Almost any cardiac condition ...

The findings align with previous studies suggesting that atrial fibrillation contributes to cognitive decline through mechanisms independent of clinical stroke. “Dementia is often a ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias are commonly seen in clinical practice. GERD and hiatal hernias have been proposed to be a possible cause of AF.

Atrial fibrillation increases dementia risk ... In addition to silent strokes, the authors highlight other potential mechanisms linking AF to dementia, such as changes in blood flow and pressure ...

PFA is a newer Afib ablation modality touted as reducing the risk of damaging nearby collateral structures, compared with ...

Rodriguez-Garcia further noted that: “Future research should focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms by which [atrial fibrillation] contributes to dementia, particularly in younger ...

Being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat, before 70 years old is linked to a 21% higher dementia risk. The research was presented at the EHRA 2025, a scientific congress of the ...

Atrial fibrillation significantly increases the risk of stroke, but even after researchers removed stroke patients from the analysis, the association between afib and dementia remained unchanged. This ...

Atrial fibrillation (afib ... association between afib and dementia remained unchanged. This suggests that mechanisms other than typical stroke may be involved, such as so-called silent strokes ...

There is no evidence evaluating efficiency, effectiveness, and safety outcomes in older patients in the context of pulsed‐field ablation technology for the ablation of atrial fibrillation. We aimed to ...

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. Although it was recently identified as a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), the underlying pathophysiology is ...
