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.

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. ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia.

However over the past few years there have been several studies which have studied AF patients and discovered patients with AF have a significantly higher prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia and as we do not have any clinical guidelines as yet, we have to try and work out for ourselves as to why there is this association.

Furthermore, it includes the latest recommendations which specifically address AF and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, AF catheter or surgical ablation, and risk factor modification and AF prevention. As such, the Class of Recommendation for catheter ablation has been upgraded.

It is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, including increased risk of dementia. The mechanisms underlying the association between AF and dementia are complex, including stroke, chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, and systemic inflammation.
