How to treat atrial fibrillation and how to treat atrial fibrillation

Basic concepts of atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation) is one of the most common arrhythmias, occurring in more than 5% of people over the age of 65Atrial fibrillation not only makes patients feel palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, fatigue, and lack of energy obviously affects their normal work and life, but also aggravates the original symptoms of heart failure and angina, and long-term atrial fibrillation or frequent atrial fibrillation is also easy to lead to stroke and hemiplegia. Taken together, there are three main harms of atrial fibrillation:

1.Affect quality of life: patients have symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, and dizziness; 2.

Increased risk of thromboembolic events: hemiplegia (stroke), severe abdominal pain (mesenteric artery embolism) and blackening of the limbs (limb artery embolism), etc.; 3.Causes changes in the structure of the heart:

Long-term atrial fibrillation can cause the heart to enlarge, leading to or worsening heart failure.

1) Paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation with frequent episodes or short duration, which significantly affects the quality of life.

2) Ineffective with more than one antiarrhythmic drug, or intolerant of antiarrhythmic drugs (with side effects), or unwilling to take drugs**.

3) No significant left atrial enlargement.

4) No serious structural heart disease such as severe valvular disease, pulmonary hypertension, or structural heart disease** has been relieved, such as after valve replacement.

5) Generally, the age is less than 75 years old, and patients over 75 years old can also do atrial fibrillation catheter ablation if their general condition is good.

Methods of atrial fibrillation, including rhythm control, ventricular rate control plus anticoagulation, catheter radiofrequency ablation, devices (placement of atrial defibrillators, multisite or biatrial pacing, anti-atrial fibrillation pacemakers, left atrial appendage occlusions), and surgery**.

Initial atrial fibrillation: ventricular rate control is the first priority, and anticoagulation is given to patients with an indication for anticoagulation**. The second is to give a chance to convert sinus rhythm, either with drugs or with electrical cardioversion.

Antiarrhythmic drugs are continued for 1 month (especially in patients with atrial fibrillation duration > 3 months) and anticoagulation for 4 weeks** after successful cardioversion. Long-term use of antiarrhythmic drugs after cardioversion for the prevention of atrial fibrillation** is not recommended.

Persistent atrial fibrillation: in these patients, control of the ventricular rate should be the first-line intervention. However, in patients with initial persistent atrial fibrillation, a cardioversion opportunity is necessary.

Recardioversion may be considered if sinus rhythm can be maintained for a longer period of time (3 to 6 months) after conversion to sinus rhythm.

** persistent atrial fibrillation: if the patient is asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, give anticoagulation** and control of ventricular rate**; If the patient's symptoms are severe, pharmacological or electrical cardioversion** should be considered in addition to control of ventricular rate and anticoagulation**. If cardioversion fails, or sinus rhythm is difficult to maintain, non-pharmacological drugs may be considered**.

Non-pharmacological** includes catheter ablation**, surgical labyrinth surgery, or atrioventricular node ablation + pacing**.

Atrial fibrillation is divided into two types: drug and non-drug, although the drug can not atrial fibrillation, but can restore the heart rhythm, control the heart rate, prevent thrombosis, and prevent the occurrence of cardiostroke.

Atrial fibrillation, also known as arrhythmia, is a condition caused by high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Different ** medications will be different. **Atrial fibrillation can be used with Western medicine or anticoagulation**, and traditional Chinese medicine can play a proper role in conditioning and control.

Atrial fibrillation is a persistent arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation is no less harmful than heart disease, mild atrial fibrillation will only affect the patient's daily life, severe atrial fibrillation can lead to sudden death. So what are the best methods of atrial fibrillation, which are specifically introduced below.

The biggest harm of atrial fibrillation is that it is easy to form blood clots in the heart and cardiovascular system, once the blood clots pump blood along the arteries of the heart into the brain, it will be the blockage of the arteries in the brain and lead to hemiplegia, causing various accidents.

People who often experience atrial fibrillation have very little heart bleeding, and the ability of the heart to bleed will also decrease. Rapid atrial fibrillation can lead to heart failure, and if not treated properly or not in a timely manner, the patient will die immediately, and it is hoped that the patient will take it seriously.

Cardiac function is an important indicator of longevity, and it is also a dangerous situation for patients with atrial fibrillation to have heart function disorders and increase the mortality rate of patients.

Atrial fibrillation itself is not a disease, but the impact of atrial fibrillation is very serious, it is recommended that patients maintain good lifestyle habits to avoid the occurrence of this disease and prevent it daily.

If there are symptoms of atrial fibrillation that need to be done in time, what are the symptoms and methods of atrial fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation is mainly a symptom of palpitations, vertigo, head discomfort and shortness of breath. Atrial fibrillation is generally caused by weight, mood, and overwork, and the general occurrence of atrial fibrillation is a danger signal that may cause myocardial infarction. Atrial fibrillation is generally classified as secondary or permanent, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, and have a physical examination every year to rule out the occurrence of other diseases.

After the examination is confirmed, you can use Western medicine to dredge microcirculation for conditioning, and natural nutrition to promote recovery.

In general, the main regimens of atrial fibrillation** are drugs** and surgery**, anticoagulant drugs will be used to prevent blood clots due to atrial fibrillation, and drugs to control the heart rhythm will be used to improve the patient's symptoms; In terms of surgery**, catheter radiofrequency ablation is currently the first to be introduced, which is very helpful to control the condition of atrial fibrillation.
