atrialfibrillation (AF), a heart condition that causes an irregular heartbeat in the upper chambers of the heart, affects up to one in three people in their lifetime. Significant complications associated with this condition include ischemic stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, chronic kidney disease, dementia and mortality.
BackgroundNon-valvular atrialfibrillation (NVAF) significantly increases ischemic stroke and systemic embolism (SE) risks. OAC users predominantly had cardiovascular disease and risk factors, whereas non-OAC users had higher rates of malignancy and dementia. for stroke/SE-specific, p-value<0.001).
Three common cardiovascular diseases in adults—heart failure, atrialfibrillation and coronary heart disease—are linked to cognitive impairment and increased risk of dementia, according to "Cardiac Contributions to Brain Health," a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association published today in the journal, Stroke.
Atrialfibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide with around 59 million people concerned in 2019. This irregular heartbeat is associated with increased risks of heart failure, dementia and stroke. It gives early warnings on average 30 minutes before onset, with an accuracy of around 80%.
Atrialfibrillation (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 atrialfibrillation. The big risk of AF is thought to be an increased risk of strokes and therefore when we see patients above the age of 65, or patients who carry comorbidities we recommend lifelong anticoagulation and as long as the patient is anticoagulated, we feel that the patient is safe.
million Americans have atrialfibrillation. Atrialfibrillation, a rapid, irregular heart beat that can lead to stroke or sudden death, is three times more common than previously thought, affecting nearly 5 percent of the population, or 10.5 tim.hodson Wed, 09/11/2024 - 15:40 Sept. million U.S. million U.S.
Stroke, Ahead of Print. The burden of neurologic diseases, including stroke and dementia, is expected to grow substantially in the coming decades. Previous scientific statements have addressed the association between cardiac diseases and stroke.
Abstract Atrialfibrillation (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.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP208-ATP208, February 1, 2024. Background:The aging of the population is associated with an increasing number of stroke patients with pre-existing dementia. PED was defined as any type of dementia that was present prior to the index stroke. women), 86 (17.4%) had PED.

Cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia account for 60% of all deaths in the US. For those in the ‘Ideal’ category, they were 51% less likely to have either dementia or depression. And less diabetes means less of a driver of the three main leading causes of death - cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia.
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionTransient Ischemic Attack (TIA) is a common neurologic condition characterized by temporary, focal cerebral ischemia that results in reversible neurological deficits without tissue infarction.
Insulin resistance is a core risk factor for the three leading causes of death: Cardiovascular Disease Cancer Dementia. Insulin resistance is unlikely to be the primary causal factor for these conditions but is likely to be a major accelerant. Subscribe now Take cardiovascular disease, for example.
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recently published new guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with atrialfibrillation (AF). By 2030, it is estimated that AF prevalence in the United States will rise to 12.1 million.
Atrialfibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder in adults, affecting more than 5 million people in the U.S., The 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of AtrialFibrillation noted that abstaining from caffeine to prevent heart rhythm disturbances is of no benefit to people with AFib.
Objective To evaluate adherence and adherence consistency to the handheld ECG device-based screening protocol and their association with adverse cerebral and cardiovascular outcomes in two systematic atrialfibrillation (AF) screening programmes. to 1.51), p=0.001), including stroke (HR 1.68 (1.22 to 2.19), p<0.001).
Background:Catheter ablation (CA) is increasingly used for treatment of atrialfibrillation (AF). Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) for the composite and individual endpoints from CABANA trial (death, stroke, major bleeding or cardiac arrest) and CASTLE-AF trial (death or heart failure).
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP57-AWP57, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to cognitive impairment and dementia (CID) even among patients without clinically obvious stroke, but the mechanism is not established.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP273-AWP273, February 1, 2024. Baseline characteristics, past medical history, and SDOH among those with mild stroke versus severe stroke were compared using the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test and chi-square tests. Similarly, those with a diagnosis of dementia on admission, were 6.22
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP105-ATMP105, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Cancer is an emerging risk factor for ischemic stroke. The final model predicting stroke within 1 year following cancer diagnosis was derived using multivariable Fine-Gray regression with candidate predictors selected via backward elimination.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A73-A73, February 1, 2025. We used a mixed effects linear regression model to examine the relationship between DTD group and length of stay, controlling for age, race, sex, last known well to arrival time, initial NIHSS, atrialfibrillation, and alcohol/drug abuse and clustering by hospital site.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP29-ATP29, February 1, 2025. Different forms of cardiac disease have also been associated with cognitive impairment and dementia. Background:Previous reports have established a relationship between asymptomatic high-grade carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and impaired cognition.
Negative predictors included dementia, pacemaker, coronary revascularization, and cerebrovascular disease. to 1.45) for fatal or nonfatal stroke. g/dL Hypotension (obviously!) to 1.51) for death from any cause, 1.27 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.99 to 2.73), 2.66 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.69 to 3.80).
Atrialfibrillation (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.
