summary

Dad's work is hard. He earns physical money, and he is reluctant to eat. A few days ago, I heard him suddenly say that he has aching all over his body and toothache. We took him to have an examination. The doctor said it was atrial fibrillation. It seemed that it was very serious and he had to be hospitalized. Let's talk about what atrial fibrillation means.

What does atrial fibrillation mean

First, one of the most common arrhythmias is atrial rhythm disorder caused by many small reentry loops caused by atrial dominant reentry loops. It is found in almost all organic heart disease, and can also occur in non organic heart disease. It can cause serious complications, such as heart failure and arterial embolism, which is a serious threat to health.

Second: atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common arrhythmia, second only to premature beat. AF is the loss of normal and regular systolic and diastolic activity of myocardium, which is replaced by rapid and uncoordinated weak peristalsis, resulting in the loss of normal effective contraction of atrium. AF lasts for more than three weeks as persistent AF.

Third: the common causes of atrial fibrillation include hypertension, coronary heart disease, cardiac surgery, valvular disease, chronic lung disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, pulmonary embolism, hyperthyroidism, pericarditis, etc., which are related to drinking, mental tension, water electrolyte or metabolic imbalance, and serious infection. In addition, other types of arrhythmias can be combined.

Atrial fibrillation occurs in the elderly, and the older the person, the greater the probability of occurrence. And like other diseases, atrial fibrillation also needs attention, especially the habits in life, which is very important for the treatment of the disease.
