Abstract

The effects of atrial fibrillation on complications and prognosis of patients receiving emergency percutaneous coronary intervention after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were investigated. Eighty AMI patients treated with interventional vascular recanalization in the Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University (Weifang, China) from July 2015 to October 2016 were selected, including 40 patients complicated with atrial fibrillation before operation (control group) and 40 patients without atrial fibrillation before operation (observation group). The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, arrhythmia and common complications after MI were compared. Changes in the coronary artery thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of patients were also recorded. Moreover, changes in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were compared. The recovery time of myocardial enzyme and total troponin in both groups was recorded. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). During the intervention, the total proportion of patients with ventricular arrhythmia, atrial arrhyt...Continue Reading

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.

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

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