Death
AF is NOT a DISEASE, but rather a manifestation of a number
of CLINICAL SYNDROMES, some of which are curable

Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus and Risk of AF
Meta-Analysis of Cohort and Case-Control Studies on 108.703 Cases
• Studies that had adjusted
for multiple risk factors
reported a smaller effect
estimate compared to
age-adjusted studies.
(RR 1.24, 95% CI 1.06 to
1.44, vs 1.70, 1.29 to
2.22).
• The population
attributable fraction of AF
owing to T2DM was 2.5%
(95% CI 0.1 to 3.9).
Huxley RR. Am J Cardiol 2011; 108: 56-62
How Increased Glucose Levels and DM
May Exert a Proarrhythmic Effect ?
■ No evidence to indicate that T1DM is associated with an increased risk of AF
Collier A. Postgrad Med J 1987; 63: 895-897
► Insulin resistence rather than hyperglicemia is responsible for the increased
risk of AF
■ Insulin resistence is also a mechanism by which hypertension and obesity are
associated with increased risk of AF
Yamagishi SI. Horm Metab Res 2008; 40: 640-644
Ostgren SJ. Diabetes Obes Metab 2004; 6: 367-74
■ DM and impaired glucose tolerance are associated with LVH which is a significant
risk factor for AF
Rutter MK. Circulation 2003; 107: 448-454
■ Long-term inflammation may be the mech mediating the link between DM and AF

Atrial Fibrillation in Diabetics
DM is associated with an increased risk of subsequent AF but …
■ The population-attributable fraction of AF owing to DM is very low
■ Studies that had adjusted for multiple RFs reported a smaller effect
■ The risk associated with T2DM is mainly mediated by changes of
other AF RF
■ The mech that may underpin the relation between DM and AF
remains speculative
■ Long-term inflammation may be the mech mediating the link
between DM and AF
■ Rooms for further upstream Rx in AF
■ AF in diabetics patients exerts an elevated thromboembolic risk
