AF increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, dementia, and hospitalization. Obesity significantly increases AF risk, both directly and indirectly, through related conditions, like hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure. ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia.

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. We never really think beyond the risk of stroke.

It usually takes many years of being exposed to an uncontrolled risk factor such as high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol or diabetes. For those who have optimised their cardiovascular risk, their future risk of dementia and many cancers is also likely to reduce. The same applies to high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, etc.
