TCTMD (11/10, Maxwell) reported, “Atrial fibrillation (AF) is not only linked to an increased likelihood of developing dementia, but this risk increases in people who see their AF symptoms start at a younger age, according to…prospective data.” An “analysis of patients with AF showed that younger age of onset was directly related to a higher risk of developing all-cause dementia,” Alzheimer’s disease, and vascular dementia. The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
