Researchers found that people newly diagnosed with a-fib had a 13% higher risk of developing dementia, the progressive loss of memory and thinking skills.
The risk was even higher among those who developed a-fib before age 65 and in people who did not have chronic kidney disease .
This study doesn't prove that a-fib causes dementia, only that there appears to be a link between the two. Bansal emphasized that not everyone who has a-fib will develop dementia. The researchers took steps to offset the influence of other medical conditions known to increase dementia risk. Bansal, a kidney specialist, said it was a surprise to find a greater risk among those without kidney disease and in younger patients.
"One of the things that we've always struggled with is: What is the potential reason a-fib leads to an increased risk of dementia?" he said. It's not clear whether a-fib causes dementia or is a marker for other disease processes that increase the risk for dementia, Epstein said.
