Between the years 2010 and 2019, the global prevalence of AF rose from 33.5 million to 59 million, highlighting the importance of developing equitable treatments for patients. The disease is associated with symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and cognitive dysfunction. In addition, AF increases the risk of developing a stroke and heart failure. Despite new insights into risk factors that can lead to the development of AF, the success of current treatments is suboptimal. Numerous risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, have been associated with the development and progression of AF. As these can be lifestyle-related risk factors, lifestyle modification may be a solution to reduce AF-related symptoms as well as episodes. Research results show that certain dietary changes can reduce AF and numerous risk factors for AF. Increasing attention is being given to Mediterranean and whole, plant-based eating patterns, which emphasize eating grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and nuts, while excluding most\u2014or all\u2014animal products. Hence, what are the beneficial aspects of a Mediterranean and plant-based diet which consists mainly of unprocessed foods? In the current review, we discuss the outcomes of diet-based treatments. Moreover, other diet-related treatments, brought up by patient initiatives, are highlighted. These patient-initiated studies include L-glutamine and electrolytes as options to manage AF. Also, we highlight the emerging importance of valuing patient needs and a quality-of-life-centered approach to medicine. As indicated by recent studies and patient experiences, citizen science can create inclusive solutions that lead to patient empowerment and a holistic approach for AF management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16162672","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,13]],"date-time":"2024-08-13T06:02:37Z","timestamp":1723528957000},"page":"2672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Exploring Diet-Based Treatments for Atrial Fibrillation: Patient Empowerment and Citizen Science as a Model for Quality-of-Life-Centered Solutions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Myrthe F.","family":"Kuipers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marketing, Economics and Business Administration, Amsterdam Business School, University of Amsterdam, 1018 TV Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3075-0048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronja","family":"Laurila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Atrial Fibrillation Innovation Platform, 1000 CE Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9114-4143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maurice L.","family":"Remy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Athena Institute, Faculty of Science, VU University Amsterdam, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michiel","family":"van Oudheusden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Athena Institute, Faculty of Science, VU University Amsterdam, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nedra","family":"Hazlett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allegheny Health Network, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, USA"},{"name":"Plant-Based, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sally","family":"Lipsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant-Based, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lianna L.","family":"Reisner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Powered Metro New York, New York, NY 10025, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debbe","family":"McCall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Journal of Atrial Fibrillation and Electrophysiology, Overland Park, KS 66209, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0259-6691","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natasja M.
