Dehydration and atrial fibrillation (afib) are closely related to one another. The human body relies on a delicate balance of fluids and electrolytes for optimal function. Dehydration, or a lack of water intakes, leads to a失衡 in body content. This, in turn, can significantly impact the heart's ability to pump blood and to maintain proper electrical signals necessary for rhythm regulation. It is well established that drinking adequate amounts of water is crucial for maintaining optimal hydration and cardiovascular health. This overview aims to provide an understanding of the interplay between hydration and afib by discussing the etiology, pathogenesis, and management of both conditions to help in preventing and managing dehydration-related afib. Understanding these factors is important for reducing the risk of afib in patients at risk of this condition.
