ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) with Cognitive Impairment (CI) and to analyze the relationship between cardiac function parameters and the degree of CI in patients.Methods120 AF patients were selected, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to distinguish between AF patients with and without CI. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the impact of sociodemographic data, disease-related data, and clinical data on risk factors for AF with CI. Pearson's method was used to analyze the correlation between cardiac function parameters and cognitive function scores in AF patients.ResultsThere were 89 patients with CI and 31 patients without CI, and the MoCA scores of patients with CI were lower than those in patients without CI. Age, occupational status, educational level, combined smoking history, drinking history, and heart failure, as well as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, C-reactive protein, free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, and D-dimer were risk factors for the patient with CI. Left atrial diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, and left atrial maximum volume in patients with CI were higher than those in patients without CI, and left ventricular ejection fraction and peak early diastolic velocity/peak late-diastolic mitral velocity ratio were lower.ConclusionThe cardiac function parameters of patients are closely related to attention, orientation, memory, visuospatial, and executive ability. Cardiac function parameters were closely related to cognitive functions.Copyright © 2024 HCFMUSP. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.
