Women with atrial fibrillation progress more rapidly to cognitive impairment and dementia than men with the heart rhythm condition, according to research presented at the scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
The researchers analyzed the associations between 1) atrial fibrillation and baseline cognitive diagnosis; and 2) atrial fibrillation and time to progression in cognitive diagnosis. Men and women with atrial fibrillation were compared to those without the condition and differences by gender were examined.
