Thread 'Lifestyle and Atrial Fibrillation'

Mar 29, 2024

Could that cup of coffee or glass of wine change your cardiac risk? At this Medical Grand Rounds, we will present the latest evidence regarding the impact of common habits like alcohol and caffeine consumption on cardiac arrhythmias. In addition to exploring the clinical and lifestyle implications of our findings, we will describe some of the pioneering research methods we’re employing at UCSF to better understand the impact of lifestyle on heart health.

* It is likely a U shape therapeutic curve with the lowest incidence of occuring at men with mid-range values of concentrations (350-550 ng/dL)

Analysis of the Graph​

The graph shows a U-shaped relationship between testosterone levels and atrial fibrillation (AF) risk:

• Lowest risk: Around 10-20 nmol/L (nadir of the curve)
• Increased risk: Both low (<10 nmol/L) and high (>30 nmol/L) testosterone levels
• The study followed 4,570 Australian men for a median of 4.3 years
