atrial fibrillation guidelines




The atrial fibrillation (Atrial fibrillation), usually accompanied by accelerated heartbeat and irregular , leading to a reduced ability to provide the body with blood. atrials stands During atrial process , irregularly and is inconsistent with the ventricles ; usually be the case accompanied by a sense of strong blows to the chest, shortness of breath and general weakness in the body.Could be atrial fibrillation temporary state and transient, it is possible to become a chronic condition ; and despite not being a condition dangerous to life, but we are talking about a medical condition serious, requiring often treated in a hurry , in order to prevent complications.

Symptoms of atrial fibrillation
 No  heart in the best possible picture , when it gets atrial fibrillation , which makes the possibility of the heart 's inability to adapt to changing conditions and incoming . As for uninfected people who do not suffer from any disease or other cardiac disorders , are detected atrial fibrillation by accident, through regular and periodic examination , though, that a person is not feeling any symptoms or limitations . The last section may complain of patients , one of the following symptoms :Strong blows to the chest ( or language professional " palpitations " ). Person feels strikes the heart , but it is often fully aware that his heart beats fast and irregular.A decrease in blood pressure.Weakness.Dizziness.Messing and confusion ( confusion ) .Shortness of breath.Chest pains .Fibrillation can happen ( and after symptoms appear ) once every few minutes or every few hours , and then disappears.When you talk about an ongoing case , called the situation of chronic atrial fibrillation .

 The causes and risk factors for atrial fibrillation
 The heart consists of four cavities are : Avenan , and below them Btinan . In the right atrium is structured normal heart rate in humans ( SA node ) , summed up his job to create a catalyst electric leads to constriction of the heart muscle fibers . This catalyst causes electrical contraction of the atria , and their travels through a private carrier fibers (AV node) to the ventricles. Receives Alavenan when atrial fibrillation occurs , electrically stimulating a rapid and irregular , lead to Anaqbadhma of very quickly , so this is crunch becomes meaningful or useful, not exceeding being vibration empty of content .Fortunately , the electrical charges which produced Alavenan to the ventricles do not all move , so that keep the pace of contraction of the ventricles between 100-175 beats per minute , which is the highest frequency of sound frequency ranging from 60 to 100 beats per minute . And despite the fact that this pace is faster than normal , but the heart contractions which remain useful and blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs and other parts of the body.More prevalent atrial fibrillation reasons is the change in the structure of the heart , whether this change is acquired or birth ( congenital ) , in addition to :Increased blood pressure .Heart attack.Damage to heart valves .Imbalances in metabolism as a result of a thyroid disorder or any other reason .Exposure to stimulant substances such as various medications , drugs , coffee , smoking and alcohol .Damage to the natural heart rate regulator itself.Sick sinus syndrome .Emphysema and other lung diseases .Previous operations in the heart.Viral infections .Severe stress to the body, such as inflammation of the lungs or major surgical operations .Stop breathing during sleep.Risk factors include injury - causing atrial fibrillation also :Generation : As we age , the greater the likelihood injury does go fibrillation .Heart Disease : The incidence of heart disease , including valve disease , heart surgery , heart attacks , all increase the risk of atrial fibrillation .High blood pressure : High blood pressure , especially when it can not be cured with medication and lifestyle changes , increases the risk of developing atrial .Alcohol: Drinking alcohol , especially when talking about a large amount of it in a short time , increases the risk of atrial .Family history of the disease.

  Complications of atrial fibrillation
 Heart stroke (Stroke): contractions can cause rapid and irregular in atria ضخا the spiral - shaped blood in the atria , which is a fertile environment for the emergence of blood clots ( clots ) . Can also be out of these clots from the heart and go to clog blood vessels in the brain. Increase the risk of exposure to a heart stroke , if atrial fibrillation was accompanied by a rise in blood pressure , or congestive cardiomyopathy , a previous state of brain injury of heart , and the presence of diabetes. That the use of anti - clotting drugs that reduce the risk of these complications .Myocardial failure : can cause uncontrolled defibrillator to the weakness of the heart muscle , and in the wake of the limitations on the performance of its work - which means the heart 's inability to provide the body with the necessary quantities of blood .
  Diagnosis of atrial fibrillationInfection is diagnosed by ECG (ECG) or Alholter ( Holter ) , as well as by cardiac imaging ultrasound (Ultrasound), and even by simple tests , such as blood tests or a chest scans. Each of these tests can help in diagnosing the cause of the onset of symptoms or injury atrial fibrillation .

 Treatment of atrial fibrillation
 When it is to identify the cause of the defibrillator and be possible to treat , this is the best position situation , and treatment is limited to trying to prevent a defibrillator . Do not be the cause of atrial known in the habit, or a change in irreparable is not therapy . Then, there would be Astrutajita treatment Mrkzian . Type of treatment is chosen based on the length of the injury , and the severity of symptoms , in addition to the patient and other factors .Rhythm control strategy _ pulse - ( Rhythm control ) : is this strategy restore the heart to its regular activity by " vice " . Process can be carried out contrary by drugs for disorders pulse or by electrical discharges , is working to stop the work of the heart to several parts of a second. This process can be useful if implies that after the return of tachycardia, will not be back for a defibrillator . Are , in some cases , the use of Pharmaceutical family of anti - disorders in order to prevent the return of fibrillation .But if it does not succeed medications to reduce the number of heart beats , then the process is a surgical eradication ( ablation - Ablation) to separate the fiber carrying the electric charge from the atria to the ventricles. In this case, and despite the contraction of the atria at a high pace , keeping the ventricles at a normal pace .
Both cases , there is a need to integrate treatment with anti - clotting drugs , in order to prevent a heart stroke. As in the rhythm control strategy , so use is limited and confined to a period of making the process of " vice ", while when you talk about a strategy to maintain the pace , anticoagulants are used permanently.
