How to treat the symptoms of atrial fibrillation

summary

Atrial fibrillation is also a kind of heart disease, patients generally show high heart rate, atrial fibrillation will affect the normal life of patients, but also affect the psychological mood of patients to a certain extent. There are many causes of atrial fibrillation, one of which is excessive pressure stool. How to treat the symptoms of atrial fibrillation? Let's talk about it

How to treat the symptoms of atrial fibrillation

Drug therapy, drugs can restore or maintain the rhythm to a certain extent, and control the occurrence of complications. The commonly used drugs are β Receptor blockers, digitalis and amiodarone. The advantage of drug therapy is that it can control the ventricular rate, ensure the basic function of the heart, and reduce the cardiac dysfunction caused by atrial fibrillation. Non drug treatment methods include cardioversion, catheter ablation and anticoagulation. Anticoagulation treatment must be guided by a professional doctor. Excessive anticoagulation will cause bleeding. If the intensity of anticoagulation is not enough, there will be no curative effect, so be careful.

Electric cardioversion refers to the method of using two electrodes placed in the appropriate part of the patient's chest to release current through defibrillator to restore sinus rhythm. Electric cardioversion is suitable for: atrial fibrillation in emergency (such as myocardial infarction, extremely fast heart rate, hypotension, angina pectoris, heart failure, etc.). The symptoms of atrial fibrillation are serious, the patient is difficult to tolerate, the last electric cardioversion is successful, and the recurrence of atrial fibrillation is not maintained with drugs. Electric cardioversion is not a method to cure atrial fibrillation. Patients with atrial fibrillation often relapse, and some patients need to continue to take antiarrhythmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm.

Catheter ablation is suitable for the vast majority of patients with atrial fibrillation, with small trauma and easy acceptance. At present, maze surgery is mainly used for patients with atrial fibrillation who need cardiac surgery for other heart diseases. The surgical effect is good, but the trauma is great.

matters needing attention

Some patients may need to avoid caffeine containing substances such as tea, coffee, cola and some over-the-counter drugs. Be careful with some cough or cold medications.
