Key result
Review outlines how hypertension drives AF through structural and functional atriopathy.
Why the study?
There is a global parallel epidemic of atrial fibrillation and hypertension, but the pathophysiology linking hypertension to atriopathy and atrial fibrillation remains complex with many interrelated factors.

Elucidates hypertension-AF mechanisms; leaves open targeted therapies pending prospective trials.
This review highlights the pathophysiological mechanisms by which hypertension leads to atrial cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation, providing insights for prevention and management.
Kantharia et al. (2025) conducted a review in Hypertension and Atrial Fibrillation. This review discusses the complex pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation related to hypertension, including structural and functional changes leading to atriopathy, and potential clinical applications.
