Atrial Fibrillation and Dementia : Focus on Shared Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications
Copyright © 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
OBJECTIVES: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and dementia are highly prevalent chronic and debilitating conditions, especially affecting the older population. This review focuses on possible common pathophysiological mechanisms that could explain the association between the 2 conditions.
DESIGN: Narrative review.
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Evidence from epidemiologic, observational, and interventional studies evaluating prevalence and incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with AF.
METHODS: Broad literature search between December 2022 and May 2023. Eligible categories for inclusion comprised interventional studies, observational studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis.
RESULTS: Evidence from different cohorts has shown that AF increases the risk of dementia, although the association with dementia subtypes is not always unequivocal. According to recent evidence, common pathophysiological mechanisms include thromboembolism and hypercoagulable states, proinflammatory state, infection, cerebral hypoperfusion, and brain atrophy. Moreover, we reviewed the evidence on therapeutic measures to prevent dementia in patients with AF.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Screening for cognition in patients with AF is of paramount importance, given the shared risk factors and common pathophysiological mechanisms. More evidence is needed to clarify whether antiarrhythmic and anticoagulant therapy have an impact on cognitive outcomes in AF patients.
