Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common tachyarrhythmia in clinical practice. Several risk factors, such as higher inflammatory marker levels, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, valvular disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and obesity have been proposed to enhance the risk of AF, contributing to higher healthcare system utilization rates and socioeconomic costs. Some interesting studies also investigated the link between AF and psychiatric diseases. This article debates this link between AF and psychiatric diseases from the perspective of Ca2+/cAMP signaling.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJP is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of psychiatry. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJP is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJP are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in psychiatry.
