Resumen
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality, as well as cognitive impairment (CI). The interplay between AF and CI is complex, involving various
pathophysiological changes and numerous risk factors. Among them, depression has emerged as a significant contributor to
both AF and CI, further complicating the relationship between these conditions.
OBJECTIVES: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the influence of depression on the
development of cognitive impairment in AF patients and assess the predictive value of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for CI risk.
METHOS: We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for relevant studies without language or date restrictions. Ten
studies, comprising 1,605,577 participants, were included. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis, and
heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics. Funnel plots and Egger’s test evaluated publication bias.
RESULTS: Depression significantly increased the risk of CI in AF patients (OR: 2.23, 95% CI: 1.54-3.21, p<0.01; I2=99%). This
association persisted in studies excluding baseline CI (OR: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.33-2.85, p<0.01; I2=88%). Subgroup analysis
confirmed these results for both prospective (OR: 1.78, 95% CI: 0.92-3.44, p=0.02; I2=65%) and retrospective studies (OR:
2.63, 95% CI: 1.75-3.93, p<0.01; I2=100%). Analysis of CHA2DS2-VASc risk factors showed associations with CI, particularly
cerebrovascular disease (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.61-2.16).
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the association between depression and cognitive impairment in AF patients,
demonstrating the importance of addressing mental health in cardiovascular care. Future research is necessary for a
comprehensive understanding of this association.
