Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia associated with increased cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. As multiple factors may predispose the onset of AF, the prevention of the occurrence, recurrence and complications of this arrhythmia is still challenging. In particular, a high prevalence of cardio-metabolic comorbidities such as the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and in its hepatic manifestation, the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), have been described in the AF population. A common pathogenetic mechanism linking AF, MetS and NAFLD is represented by oxidative stress. For this reason, in the past decades, numerous studies have investigated the effect of different foods/nutrients with antioxidant properties for the prevention of, and their therapeutic role is still unclear. In this narrative comprehensive review, we will summarize current evidence on (1) the association between AF, MetS and NAFLD (2) the antioxidant role of Mediterranean Diet and its components for the prevention of AF and (3) the effects of Mediterranean Diet on MetS components and NAFLD.
