Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF), a complex cardiac arrhythmia, necessitates a shift in management paradigms, emphasizing an integrative approach that incorporates lifestyle modifications. Investigations into the role of interleukins and inflammatory mediators are underway, exploring their potential as diagnostic markers and predictors of cardiovascular events in AF. Despite the identification of biomarkers related to cardiac remodeling, their predictive ability for post-cardioversion outcomes remains controversial. Computational models are being developed to understand proarrhythmic contributions and identify anti-AF targets. Addressing the rising global incidence of AF, linked to stroke and heart failure, presents a critical health challenge. As risk factors like obesity prevail, AF becomes a pervasive public health concern, expected to double in prevalence over the next 50 years. The impact on mortality and morbidity, especially through hospitalizations, underscores the need for early detection and effective clinical management. Identifying individuals at increased AF risk becomes crucial for screening and prevention strategies. Lifestyle modifications, including weight management and physical activity, emerge as influential factors in AF management, offering the potential to alleviate symptoms and modify disease progression. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for safer antiarrhythmic therapies based on AF mechanisms, promising improvement in global AF management. The multifaceted nature of AF etiology requires a broader perspective beyond traditional medical interventions, acknowledging the importance of integrated care to address this significant public health challenge.
