Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents the most common cardiac arrhythmia with significant morbidity and mortality implications. It is a common cause of hospital admissions, significantly impacts quality of life, increases morbidity and decreases life expectancy. Despite advancements in treatment options, prevalence of AF remains exceptionally high. AF is a challenging disease to manage, not just clinically but also financially. Evidence suggests lifestyle modification, including dietary changes, plays a significant role in the treatment of AF. This review aims to analyze the existing literature on the effects of dietary modifications on the incidence, progression, and outcomes of atrial fibrillation. It examines various dietary components, including alcohol, caffeine, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and minerals, and their impact on AF incidence, progression, and outcomes. The evidence surrounding the effects of dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean and low carbohydrate diets, on AF is also evaluated. Overall, this review underscores the importance of dietary interventions as part of a comprehensive approach to AF management and highlights the need for further research in this emerging field.
