Abstract

The global prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is growing with a significant increase in AF burden. The pathophysiology of AF is complex and exhibits a strong relationship with modifiable lifestyle AF risk factors, such as physical inactivity, smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption, as well as co-morbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. Current evidence suggests that cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle risk factor modification can potentially lower the overall AF burden. Additionally, AF ablation can be an effective treatment for a rhythm control strategy, but reducing AF recurrences post-catheter ablation is paramount. Thus, addressing these modifiable lifestyle risk factors and co-morbidities is critical, as the recent 2024 European Society of Cardiology AF guidance update highlights. A comprehensive approach to treating these risk factors is essential, especially given the rising prevalence of AF. This article provides a state-of-the-art update on the evidence of addressing AF-related risk factors and co-morbidities, particularly in patients undergoing AF ablation.

期刊介绍: RCM is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal. RCM publishes research articles, review papers and short communications on cardiovascular medicine as well as research on cardiovascular disease. We aim to provide a forum for publishing papers which explore the pathogenesis and promote the progression of cardiac and vascular diseases. We also seek to establish an interdisciplinary platform, focusing on translational issues, to facilitate the advancement of research, clinical treatment and diagnostic procedures. Heart surgery, cardiovascular imaging, risk factors and various clinical cardiac & vascular research will be considered.
