Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common form of heart arrhythmia, a serious condition in which the heart beats so fast that its upper chambers, the atria, quiver. This irregular heartbeat can increase the risk of severe conditions, including heart failure, dementia and stroke.

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.

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently defined as symptomatic by asking patients if they are aware of when they are in AF and if they feel better in sinus rhythm. Labeling these patients as asymptomatic falsely suggests that their AF requires less intense therapy and puts into question the notion of truly asymptomatic AF.
