ABSTRACT
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmia types. With the increase of age, atrial fibrillation will increase the incidence of silent cerebral infarction (SCI), and the correlation between them will lead to the aggravation of cognitive impairment. Atrial fibrillation can be regarded as an independent risk factor for accelerating cognitive impairment in patients with SCI, but the possible mechanism is not completely clear. Therefore, patients with atrial fibrillation should undergo MRI examination, find SCI in time and develop corresponding intervention measures in order to reduce or delay a series of subsequent negative effects. This article reviews the related cognitive impairment of SCI patients with atrial fibrillation.
