Medical心房颤动电抗休克Medical Management of Atrial Fibrillation. Predominantly a disease of advancing age, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. Its prevalence is rising as the proportion of elderly people in the population continues its inexorable rise. Without more ...
Preventing the recurrence of atrial fibrillation with AFib medications. Using procedures (for example, pacemakers, defibrillators, surgery) to prevent episodes of the disease. However, each individual is unique, so the treatments vary depending on the patient’s medical condition (for example, the pr...
Atrial fibrillation is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and the most common kind. It is caused by rapid, uncontrolled atrial contractions and uncoordinated ventricular responses.
Knowing the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and documentation of medical management are important in the provision of primary care. This study sought to determine the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in a primary care population and to identify and quantify the treatments being used for stroke ...
Atrial fibrillation has a lifetime prevalence of 15% to 40% and predisposes patients to stroke and cardiac dysfunction.1 This JAMA Clinical Guidelines Synopsis focuses on recommendations for long-term management of AF, including new paradigms for rhythm control and stroke risk reduction. The ACC...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) are common cardiac arrhythmias in older adults. Medical management focuses on rate and rhythm control of AF and AFL to promote symptomatic relief and avoid tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy. Pharmacologic treatment of AF and AFL is especially challeng...

Text Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that can be asymptomatic or disabling. Its prevalence increases with age and its presence can markedly increase the risk of stroke. Recent advances have offered new options for anticoagulation, interventions to decrease the risk of embolic stroke, and ...
Atrial Fibrillation Prevention You may not be able to change some of your risk factors for AFib, such as family history or other medical conditions. But you can take other steps to prevent it. They include: Eat a healthy diet with lots of vegetables and fruit, low-fat protein, and whole...
Atrial fibrillation is a risk factor for stroke. About 15 percent of all people who have strokes have AFib. Because of the irregular and chaotic flow of blood through the heart, small blood clots can form in the heart chambers when you have atrial fibrillation. These clots can travel through...
