心房颤动与痴呆

Atrial fibrillation and dementia

摘要:

心房颤动（以下简称房颤）和痴呆是老年人群常见疾病。越来越多的证据表明房颤可导致认知功能障碍和痴呆，通过对房颤患者进行抗凝、节律控制能改善认知功能和降低痴呆风险。该文就房颤导致认知功能障碍和痴呆的可能机制，通过对房颤的干预降低痴呆风险的研究进展作一综述。

Abstract:

AF and dementia are common diseases in the elderly. More and more evidences show that AF can lead to cognitive impairment and increased risk of dementia. Anticoagulation and rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation can improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia in patients with AF. This paper reviews the possible mechanisms of cognitive impairment and dementia caused by atrial fibrillation, and the research progress of reducing the risk of dementia through the management of atrial fibrillation.
