What are the effects of atrial fibrillation on my life?

The impact of atrial fibrillation on life is mainly to increase discomfort such as palpitations, induce stroke, aggravate heart failure and other problems.

What is atrial fibrillation? Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia, the normal and regular sinus rhythm is replaced by a disordered atrial fibrillation rhythm, the atria carry out electrical activity at a frequency of 350-600 minutes, the normal mechanical contraction activity of the atria is also replaced by peristalsis, and the atria basically lose the ability to squeeze blood flow.

The impact of atrial fibrillation on life <>

1.Increased risk of stroke.

This is the most harmful and common harm of atrial fibrillation to the human body. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke by 5-fold and increases with age. Stroke caused by atrial fibrillation has a high rate of stroke** and a mortality and disability rate.

It is estimated that there are nearly 10 million patients with atrial fibrillation in China, and 2 million people die of stroke every year, and 20% of these stroke patients are caused by atrial fibrillation. All patients with atrial fibrillation must do a good job in stroke prevention, which is the core of atrial fibrillation**.

2.Increases the occurrence of heart failure.

Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for heart failure, and studies have shown that in patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation are subsequently diagnosed with heart failure, atrial fibrillation increases the risk of heart failure by a factor of three. Long-term atrial fibrillation can cause the heart to enlarge and eventually predispose to heart failure.

3. Increased discomfort such as palpitations.

In particular, patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation have a sudden increase in heart rate during the attack, causing uncomfortable complaints such as palpitations. If you have coronary heart disease, a sudden increase in heart rate may also induce angina. In addition, repeated atrial fibrillation** will also cause the patient's psychological burden, worrying that atrial fibrillation will occur at any time, worrying about whether a stroke will occur, and worrying about the adverse reactions of drugs in **, etc., resulting in increased anxiety.

4.Increased risk of dementia.

Studies have found that patients with atrial fibrillation have a two-fold increased risk of dementia compared with people without atrial fibrillation. Small observational studies suggest that asymptomatic embolic events may be associated with impaired cognitive function.

5.Adverse effects of atrial fibrillation medications**.

For patients with atrial fibrillation, many of them are taking anti-arrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone and propafenone for a long time, and some antiplatelet aggregation and anticoagulant drugs such as aspirin and warfarin, which will bring some related ***.

The core of the conservatism of atrial fibrillation is heart rate control + anticoagulation, and left atrial appendage occlusion or radiofrequency ablation can be considered for some surgical indications**.

Atrial fibrillation, known as atrial fibrillation, is a relatively common arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation is a kind of atrial tachycardia, the electrocardiogram shows that the P wave disappears, replaced by a small F wave, the frequency is about 350 600 minutes. The overall incidence of atrial fibrillation is increasing with age, reaching 10% in people over 75 years old, second only to premature contractions.

Atrial fibrillation. The heart is very important to us, and if we do not pay attention to protection in our daily life, it is easy to cause heart disease. There are many types of heart diseases, atrial fibrillation is one of the common heart diseases, if the symptoms of atrial fibrillation are not timely, it is easy to cause heart failure, thrombosis and other harms, affecting the health of patients, so this should be paid attention to.

Atrial fibrillation. If atrial fibrillation is not timely, it is easy to cause the formation of blood clots in the body, thrombosis is very harmful to the body, mild thrombosis will cause quadriplegia in patients, and severe thrombosis will also threaten the life safety of patients, so we must pay attention to it. Atrial fibrillation will not only cause the occurrence of heart disease, but also increase the mortality rate of the human body, which seriously affects the health of the patient, so we must pay attention to protecting our heart and preventing the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in our later life.

Atrial fibrillation. Long-term atrial fibrillation can have many consequences, the most serious is cerebral infarction due to the break-off of blood clots, and long-term atrial fibrillation can also promote the severity of heart failure. For people with atrial fibrillation, the most important thing is to prevent embolism and control the ventricular rate, and prevent the aggravation of heart failure symptoms.

In terms of drugs, to prevent such consequences, warfarin or rivaroxaban should generally be used to prevent the risk of thrombus shedding, and receptor blockers, digoxin, etc. should be used to control the heart rate and prevent the aggravation of heart failure symptoms due to excessive increase in ventricular rate. In the case of idiopathic atrial fibrillation or atrial fibrillation for which surgery is indicated, radiofrequency ablation is an option** for atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation. The harm caused by atrial fibrillation to patients may mainly be:

1. Whether it is persistent or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, due to the irregular pulse of the ventricle, it often brings corresponding uncomfortable symptoms such as palpitation and fatigue to the patient, which often affects the patient's quality of life to varying degrees; Clause.

2. When atrial fibrillation occurs, the patient's atria loses the pumping effect, which reduces the patient's cardiac output, which often worsens the cardiac function of patients with structural heart disease and causes heart failure; Clause.

3. The potential complications caused by thromboembolism and thrombus detachment in patients with atrial fibrillation are 5-15 times higher than those in patients without atrial fibrillation, which can cause embolism in various organs of the body; Clause.

Fourth, patients with atrial fibrillation have a fast ventricular rate, and a long period of fast ventricular rate often leads to tachycardia cardiomyopathy, and even some patients further deteriorate and develop ventricular fibrillation.

In atrial fibrillation, the atria contract and the drainage is reduced, and sometimes the heart beat is affected to a certain extent. If the heart rate is relatively fast, the heart will not have time to relax, and the blood supply to the heart will be insufficient, and in severe cases, heart failure will occur. Therefore, people with atrial fibrillation should pay more attention to the speed of the heartbeat, control their emotions, and try not to do things that make the heart beat too fast, such as intense exercise, etc.

Atrial fibrillation. The human heart is able to beat normally and regularly by a structure called the "sinus node", which can be understood as the center of the entire heart. The heart has two left and right atria and ventricles, which are 4 small chambers.

Each beat of the heart is signaled by the sinus node, which is then transmitted to the atria, which in turn conduct to the ventricles. The transmission of signals between the cells of the heart is very fast, but the transmission of signals between the atria and ventricles is slower and can be delayed for a while.

The advantage of this is that all cells in the entire atrium are equivalent to receiving signals at the same time and can contract at the same time. The cells of the ventricles are the same, and the entire ventricle contracts at the same time. However, because there is a delay between the atria and the ventricles, the atria contract first and then the ventricles contract each time.

The atria contract, pumping blood to the ventricles, which contract to push blood pressure out of the heart and throughout the body.

Atrial fibrillation. The point of action of atrial fibrillation is the heart, and once the heart is abnormal, it will naturally bring many heart diseases. Because atrial fibrillation is a serious arrhythmia, in general, arrhythmia can easily increase the chance of sudden death.

It's a probability, and it's basically the same chance that you're prone to accidents while driving under the influence of alcohol.

If there is frequent atrial fibrillation, the blood clot in the brain will fall off, and once the blood clot falls off, it is easy to run to the brain with the blood vessels, and you imagine that a hard object suddenly flows into the brain, which will naturally easily cause cerebral infarction. Atrial fibrillation.

In atrial fibrillation, the atria lose the ability to drain blood, and the overall blood output of the heart decreases, which means that the patient's heart function will decrease, which may cause or aggravate heart failure. Atrial fibrillation can cause some complications, the most serious is like stroke, once a stroke occurs, it will definitely affect the normal life and work of the patient, and even threaten life, bringing misfortune to the family.

Atrial fibrillation can cause symptoms of palpitation, fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It will affect our lives, such as climbing stairs, the average person can go up to the 4th floor in one breath, and atrial fibrillation will cause panic and shortness of breath when climbing to the 2nd floor.

The serious harm is to cause heart failure, even life-threatening, and it is easy to cause cerebral infarction, because the emboli that fall off from the heart may block the cerebral blood vessels along the bloodstream, and the mild harm of atrial fibrillation is palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing.

Atrial fibrillation refers to atrial fibrillation, the atria does not beat regularly, the patient will feel palpitation, irregular heartbeat and other symptoms, and atrial fibrillation will reduce the function of the heart, increase thrombosis, and if sometimes the heart rate is low during atrial fibrillation, there may be fainting, you need to install a pacemaker.

Atrial blood stasis is easy to form thrombosis, which can cause cerebral embolism, frequent episodes can cause significant atrial enlargement, and the left atrial volume of some patients increases by 2 to 3 times in 2 years, which has a great impact on life.

3. Heart disease As we all know, the heart is a relatively important organ in the human body, if the heart does not beat, then people will also face death. If you find that the atria beats too fast, you must be vigilant and go to the hospital in time, combined with the ** of drugs. Everyone must listen blindly according to their own actual situation, and not go their own way.

If atrial fibrillation lasts too long, blood clots will form in the atrium, which can lead to systemic embolism, stroke, deafness, and myocardial infarction. Atrial fibrillation is not a normal heart rate contraction, at this time the heart rate will be very fast, for too long, and at this time the symptoms of heart failure will appear.

The harm of atrial fibrillation to the human body is that it can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as palpitation, chest tightness, shortness of breath, etc., induce symptoms of angina, and if not controlled in time, it will also lead to atrial blood stasis, induce the risk of atrial thrombosis, and lead to serious consequences such as limb artery embolism and cerebral embolism.

The heart loses effective contraction and relaxation, and the atrial pumping function deteriorates or is lost, causing a very irregular ventricular response, and ventricular rhythm disorders, impaired cardiac function and atrial wall thrombosis are the main pathophysiological characteristics of patients with atrial fibrillation.

So what are the harms of it?

1. Bringing appearance and social embarrassment, usually does not cause disability, in some cases tremor can hinder the hand to complete fine movements such as writing, and laryngeal muscles will affect pronunciation when affected. Patients and small amounts of alcohol may provide significant relief from symptoms, but they are short-lived and worsen when they wake up.

2. Essential tremor is more common than the onset of tendencies or early adulthood, tremor is a clinical symptom, manifested as postural or action tremor, often involving one hand or both hands or head, and the symptoms do not gradually become obvious until later.

3. The common clinical symptom of essential tremor is movement disorder, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, and postural or action tremor is manifested as slow progression.

4. The tremor of essential tremor is common in the hands, followed by head tremor, and very few patients have tremor of the lower limbs. Essential tremor worsens with concentration, nervousness, fatigue, hunger, and in most cases disappears temporarily after alcohol consumption and worsens the next day. This is a common hazard of essential tremor.

5.Essential tremor can be transformed into other diseases, such as what we call Parkinson's disease. It is 3 to 6 times more dangerous than normal people.

The main thing is that this kind of harm is that we normal people take an analogy, people over 60 years old have Parkinson's disease, and there is no special reason, he will have Parkinson's, that is, because of aging. Nearly two out of a hundred people will get Parkinson's. But if there are 100 people over 60 years old who have essential tremor, 5 to 10 people may develop Parkinson's disease, and the main reason is that it will transform.

Essential tremor affects the patient's fine motor skills. During an episode of essential tremor, the patient's hands will shake involuntarily, and he will not be able to hold anything at all, or even be unable to pour water to drink and eat, which will seriously affect the patient's daily life.

2. Essential tremor can lead to diseases of movement disorders. For example, patients with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, have a much higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease than normal people, and may reach 24 times.

3. Essential tremor may cause speech disorders. People with essential tremor may cause symptoms when they encounter people or things that make them nervous, and the tongue will tremble, which will cause the voice to tremble, and severe patients may not be able to communicate with people normally, which will seriously affect the patient's daily communication.

4. Essential tremor may know that the patient is unable to walk normally. Patients with severe essential tremor will have severe tremors in the limbs, and the patient will not be able to stand at all, which will seriously affect the patient's daily walking.

5. Essential tremor may cause mental illness. Because essential tremor is difficult and the recovery time is very long, many patients will have low self-esteem because they are unable to take care of themselves for a long time, and some may even complain, which brings great harm to the patient's mental health.

Hazards can cause physical and social embarrassment, prevent the hand from performing fine motor tasks, such as sketching, and may affect speech if the head muscles are affected. If it is not timely, it will be very harmful to the body, mainly in the following aspects: first of all, the adverse reaction of the drug, for essential tremor, long-term medication is required to control the disease.

Although the appropriate dosage is grasped according to the doctor's instructions, after the drug enters the body, it will affect the normal metabolism and cause harm to the body. In particular, long-term medication is likely to lead to the direct loss of labor force and the patient becoming a wasted person. In fact, dysfunction, the disease has always existed, which can cause the patient to have functional dysfunction.

In severe cases, it may even be difficult to take care of oneself.
