Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A number of risk factors have been associated with AF, though few studies have explored the association between gastrointestinal and liver diseases and AF. Additionally, AF and treatment for AF may predispose to gastrointestinal and liver diseases. We review the current literature on the bidirectional associations between gastrointestinal and liver diseases and AF. We highlight the gaps in knowledge and areas requiring future investigation.
心房颤动(AF)是全球最常见的心律失常,与显著的发病率和死亡率相关。虽然有许多风险因素与AF相关,但很少有研究探讨胃肠道和肝脏疾病与AF之间的关联。此外,AF及其治疗可能易引发胃肠道和肝脏疾病。我们综述了关于胃肠道和肝脏疾病与AF之间双向关联的当前文献。我们强调了知识空白和需要未来研究的领域。
