Triggers for Atrial Fibrillation: The Role of Anxiety by Paolo Severino, Marco Valerio Mariani, Annalisa Maraone, Agostino Piro, Andrea Ceccacci, Lorenzo Tarsitani, Viviana Maestrini, Massimo Mancone, Carlo Lavalle, Massimo Pasquini, Francesco Fedele

“…The present review sought to underline the possible pathophysiological association between AF and anxiety disorders and suggests that anxiety can be an independent risk factor for AF, acting as a trigger, creating an arrhythmogenic substrate, and modulating the autonomic nervous system. The awareness of the role of anxiety disorders as a risk factor for AF may lead to the development of new clinical strategies for the management of AF.…”
