Popis: BACKGROUND: Mental disorders and cardiovascular diseases are closely related. However, a paucity of information on the risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with mental disorders exists.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the association between mental disorders and the risk of AF, particularly in young adults.METHODS: Using the Korean National Health Insurance Database between 2009 and 2012, we identified adults aged 20-39 years without a history of AF and who have been diagnosed with mental disorders. Mental disorders were defined as having one of the following diagnoses: depression, insomnia, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. The primary outcome was new-onset AF during follow-up.RESULTS: A total of 6,576,582 subjects (mean age 30.9 ± 5.0 years; 3,919,339 [59.6%] men) were included. Among the total population, 10% had mental disorders. During the follow-up period, 8932 incident AF events occurred. Patients with mental disorders showed a higher AF incidence than did those without (25.4 per 100,000 person-years vs 17.7 per 100,000 person-years). After multivariable adjustment, mental disorders were associated with a significantly higher risk of AF (adjusted hazard ratio 1.526; 95% confidence interval 1.436-1.621). Patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia had a 2-fold higher risk of AF and those with depression, insomnia, and anxiety disorder had a 1.5- to 1.7-fold higher risk of AF than did those without mental disorders.CONCLUSION: Young adults diagnosed with mental disorders have a higher risk of incident AF. Awareness for AF in high-risk populations should thus be considered.
