Daytime Napping, Incident Atrial Fibrillation, and Dynamic Transitions With Dementia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Associations between napping and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unknown, and few studies have accounted for dynamic transitions between AF and dementia.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between napping with incident AF and the dynamic transitions of AF and dementia, as well as the mediation pathway of left ventricular (LV) size and function.

Methods

A total of 476,588 participants from UK Biobank were included. Napping frequency and other sleep behaviors were evaluated. Incident AF, dementia, and mortality were ascertained via linkage to external registry databases. LV size and function indices were obtained from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging phenotypes. A multistate survival analysis was conducted to e
