Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) has a recognized association with not only stroke, but also neurocognitive impairment and both vascular and Alzheimer's dementia. Effective management of AF can reduce the risk of such complications. In this narrative review article, we discuss the pathophysiological links between AF and dementia, as well as the benefits of adherence to the guideline-recommended 'ABC' pathway.
