Summary: This literature review explores the association between coffee, caffeine, and atrial fibrillation and analyzes differences between sexes. Various factors affect this complex relationship, with genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors playing a role in atrial fibrillation pathophysiology. However, analysis reveals a lack of studies comparing the two sexes, resulting in insufficient information for prevention and treatment approaches. Further dedicated studies are necessary.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and mortality rate among atrial fibrillation patients over 80 years old. The study found that patients with lower PNI values had higher rates of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease-related mortality. After adjusting for potential confounders, PNI was negatively associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease-related mortality. The study also observed a decrease in cardiovascular disease-related and all-cause mortality with increasing PNI values.

Summary: Limited studies have been conducted on the association between the loss of a child and the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, this population-based cohort study involving over 2.8 million parents found that bereaved parents have a higher risk of AF, emphasizing the need for increased support from family members and health professionals.

Summary: This study found that high intake of red meat and choline was significantly associated with TMAO concentrations, especially among participants identified as microbial TMAO-producers. Alistipes shahii strengthened the positive association between red meat intake and HbA1c levels. The results underscore the interaction between diet and gut microbiome in producing potentially bioactive metabolites that may modulate cardiometabolic health.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the prospective association between coffee intake and psychological well-being over time. The results suggest that heavy coffee consumption may be linked to lower levels of sustained happiness, while moderate consumption is weakly associated with greater levels of sustained optimism. However, the overall impact of coffee consumption on psychological well-being seems to be limited.

Summary: This study investigated the association between coffee intake and incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), finding that there is an association between coffee consumption and incident AF, contrary to previous studies. The results showed that individuals who consumed 1 cup of coffee or more per week had a higher incidence of AF. Furthermore, there was a trend of increasing AF incidence with progressively increasing doses of coffee.

Summary: The incidence and mortality of atrial fibrillation across Europe did not show a general trend from 1990 to 2017, with unique patterns observed for some nations. Higher mortality rates were observed in wealthier countries, with women experiencing worse outcomes and increasing disparities over time.

Summary: The study found that cardiovascular mortality among atrial fibrillation (AF) cases decreased over time, regardless of age. With advancing age, history of heart failure, and history of myocardial infarction, the risk of cardiovascular death also increased.

Summary: This review highlights the importance of recognizing gender differences in cardiovascular conditions and emphasizes the need to establish stronger clinical evidence for female treatment. It discusses known or suggested gender differences in arrhythmia care, aiming to optimize care for female patients. Recommendations for improving female enrollment in clinical trials and areas for future research in optimizing arrhythmia care are also provided.

Summary: Most TWASs conducted so far have focused on European ancestry and lacked diversity. To address this limitation, researchers aggregated GWAS summary statistics, whole-genome sequences, and eQTL data from diverse ancestries. They developed a new approach called TESLA, which integrates eQTL datasets with multi-ancestry GWAS, improving power and identifying more genes associated with tobacco use phenotypes compared to alternative TWAS methods. The study also suggests potential drug repurposing options for treating nicotine addiction.

Summary: The global prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) has significantly increased over the past three decades to approximately 60 million cases. Various risk factors, including lifestyle choices, can modify the lifetime risk of AF. This review provides evidence on the epidemiology of AF, both non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors, and strategies for primary and secondary prevention. It also discusses potential interventions to reduce the frequency and severity of subsequent AF episodes and proposes strategies and global policy changes for the prevention and management of AF.
