9. 12 Wang and Benjamin the most consistent predictor of AF (10,51,52). 5 times the risk of developing AF compared with individuals in the lowest quartile of left atrial diameter (V35 mm) after adjusting for age and sex (51). 4-fold increase in the risk of AF for every 5 mm increase in left atrial diameter. An effect of similar magnitude was observed in the Cardiovascular Health Study cohort (10). Investigators from the Mayo Clinic reported that left atrial volume, using a biplane area length method, predicted the development of AF over and above left atrial diameter (52).

The most common sites of embolism were the upper and lower extremities (61%), followed by the mesenteric arteries (29%), the pelvic arteries (9%), the aorta (7%), and the renal arteries (2%). C. AF and Dementia Several recent studies have reported that AF may be a risk factor for dementia. Investigators from the Rotterdam Study noted that dementia was approximately twice as common in individuals with AF than in those without AF (23). This association did not appear attributable to differences in age, cardiovascular risk factors, or prior stroke.
