What treatment does atrial fibrillation have

summary

Atrial fibrillation is a very common phenomenon of sustained arrhythmia of heart rate, that is, sometimes the heart rate is too slow, and sometimes the heart rate is too fast. The incidence of atrial fibrillation will increase with age. My cousin has atrial fibrillation. He said that sometimes he feels the heartbeat is very fast, especially the feeling of palpitation. Let's share with you the common problem of treatment of atrial fibrillation!

What treatment does atrial fibrillation have

First: radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation is a minimally invasive surgery, which can cure atrial fibrillation. Usually, we only need to cut a small incision of 2mm in the skin of the thigh root, send a very thin catheter to the heart, and release the RF energy after mapping the abnormal excitation points, so as to eliminate the abnormal excitation points and achieve the purpose of radical treatment of atrial fibrillation.

Second, 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.

Third, the design of Cox maze is mainly based on two purposes: one is to lead the electric impulse into the dead end, the other is to avoid the electric impulse to form reentry along the annular structure of mitral valve, tricuspid valve, vena cava and auricle. Patients who underwent Cox maze had higher long-term survival rate, lower incidence of stroke and better ventricular function.

matters needing attention

Atrial fibrillation is a common disease in the elderly, and the older the population, the higher the risk of atrial fibrillation. So we should take active measures to prevent the formation of atrial fibrillation. At the same time, because it mostly happens to the elderly, it also needs the family members to give more care to the elderly.
