Abstract

Renal insufficiency is associated with medical complications in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, data for elderly patients are scarce. Thus, the main objectives of the present study were to analyze the characteristics of elderly patients with NVAF and acute or chronic renal disease, describe their management in real-life conditions, and detect factors associated with complications. The NONAVASC registry includes patients > 75 years with NVAF, hospitalized by any cause in 64 Spanish Internal Medicine departments. Patients were categorized into acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD) or preserved renal function (PRF). All variables associated with in-hospital mortality with P < 0.10 in univariate analysis were included to develop a multivariate logistic-regression model. The study included 804 patients (53.9% women), 352 (43.8%) of whom met diagnostic criteria for CKD. AKI was detected in 119 (14.8%) patients. AKI was associated with greater length of stay, higher mortality and an increased rate of patient transfer to nursing homes. After logistic-regression analysis, we found an association between mortality and AKI (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.03-5.53; P = 0.045). The increase in creatinine v...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
