Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia, and its prevalence increases with age. Studies have shown that AF is associated with an increased risk of dementia. There is increasing evidence of potential treatment strategies to prevent dementia in patients with AF. This article reviews the preventive effects of anticoagulant therapy and catheter ablation on dementia in patients with AF.
