Abstract As a gramnegative bacterium that exists in the human gastric mucosa, Helicobacter pylori has a non-negligible harm to the human body. Atrial fibrillation, as the most common persistent arrhythmia, has a high morbidity, mortality and disability. Several recent studies have shown that Helicobacter pylori is closely related to atrial fibrillation. This paper reviews on the possible pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation caused by Helicobacter pylori, epidemiology of atrial fibrillation, and the predictive value of Helicobacter pylori related indexes on the treatment and prognosis of atrial fibrillation.
