title: [Relationship between atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular risk factors in Alzheimer's disease. New prevention opportunities].
abstract: Dementia is one of the most frequent neurological disorders in the elderly. Several vascular risk factors such as atrial fibrillation have been found to be associated with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Early interventions at reducing atrial fibrillation may have a strong impact on future incidence and prevalence of cognitive impairment.
