Four seas net: atrial fibrillation, this kind of arrhythmia is not uncommon now, now also become a recognized problem, why? The main reason is that there is no medicine to prevent him, and there is no way to cure him! The characteristic of this disease is that it may never get rid of once it is acquired, that is to say, once it has atrial fibrillation, it may happen again, and eventually develop into permanent atrial fibrillation. Even atrial fibrillation may cause atrial fibrillation, but the mechanism is not clear, so what are the hazards of atrial fibrillation? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian~
1、 What are the hazards of AF?
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia. What are the main hazards of atrial fibrillation?
1. Risk of thrombosis
The biggest harm of atrial fibrillation is probably the risk of thrombus. The occurrence of thrombus is mostly in the left atrial appendage. The existence of thrombus in the left atrial appendage greatly increases the risk of various embolism. Therefore, the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation is more than 5 times that of normal rhythm, which is mainly due to the risk of thrombus.
2. Embolic complications
In addition to external cerebral embolism, the risk of embolism in other parts is also very high, such as mesenteric artery embolism, lower extremity embolism, renal artery embolism and so on. The high incidence of various embolism is also the harm of atrial fibrillation.
3. Impact on quality of life
Atrial fibrillation will affect the quality of life, especially paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, which will make patients feel uneasy such as palpitation and palpitation, and will make patients appear various negative emotions because of atrial fibrillation.
4. Affect blood supply
Because the heart rate of atrial fibrillation is absolutely uneven, and the heart rate is greater than the pulse rate, the ventricular rate of many atrial fibrillation will shoot blood when the heart is not fully filled, which will reduce the ejection, affect the function of heart pump, and reduce the blood supply of various organs.
5. Affect heart function
Atrial fibrillation for a long time, there will be arrhythmic cardiomyopathy, incomplete valve closure and a series of heart function damage, serious cases will have cardiac insufficiency and so on.
2、 How to prevent atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation is a disease with age related. The older the patient is, the higher the incidence of atrial fibrillation. Besides age, the causes of atrial fibrillation are hypertension, coronary heart disease and rheumatic heart disease. The incidence rate of atrial fibrillation is more than 75%. The incidence of atrial fibrillation is more than 75%. Therefore, age can not be changed, but hypertension, coronary heart disease and rheumatic heart disease can be prevented and treated. Controlling hypertension, coronary heart disease and rheumatic heart disease can reduce the incidence rate of atrial fibrillation.
Second, atrial fibrillation can also be seen in hyperthyroidism, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and other situations. For such patients, patients need to actively treat hyperthyroidism, cardiomyopathy and other primary diseases, only in this way can we reduce the occurrence of hyperthyroidism.
For idiopathic atrial fibrillation, it means that the cause of atrial fibrillation can not be found. Such patients can reduce the risk factors, and also reduce the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.
