Catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been proved to benefit patient with symptomatic AF and heart failure. However, the data on neurological outcomes including cerebrovascular disease (CVA) and dementia remain a controversy.

ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. AF increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, dementia, and hospitalization. Weight loss has been shown to reverse these changes and reduce AF risk and recurrence after ablation. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.

AF stands for atrial fibrillation. There was a study in 2009 called the Intermountain Heart collaborative study which evaluated 37000 patients and followed them for development of AF and dementia and found that patients with AF were 44% more likely to develop dementia compared to patients without AF.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent heart rhythm disorder worldwide with a prevalence of 1%2% in general population. It is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, including increased risk of dementia. In addition to cognitive impairment, AF has been related to anxiety and mood disorders.
