Risk Factors
Reversible or Modifiable Underlying Conditions Associated with Atrial Fibrillation
- Alcohol and alcohol withdrawal
- Breath spray which contains alcohol [1]
- Caffeine (coffee or tea)
- Cocaine
- Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
- Esophageal surgery
- Hyperthyroidism
- Hypomagnesemia[2]
- Hypothermia
- Hypothyroidism
- Hypoxia
- Pericarditis and pericardial disease in general
- Pheochromocytoma
- Pulmonary embolism
- Stimulants
Irreversible Underlying Conditions Associated with Atrial Fibrillation
Risk Stratification
- Once a patient develops atrial fibrillation, their risk of subsequent events can be assessed using the following scores:
- The risk of bleeding associated with anticoagulation can be assessed using the following score:
Risk factors for Ischemic Stroke or Systemic Embolization in Patients with Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Risk factors and relative risks are tabulated below. [3]
| Risk Factor | Relative Risk |
| Advanced age (continuous, per decade) | |
| History of hypertension | |
| Heart failure or impaired left ventricular systolic function | |
| Coronary artery disease (CAD) | |
| Diabetes mellitus (DM) | |
| Previous stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) |
