Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its prognosis in the patients after dialysis initiation. A total of 1524 patients with chronic kidney disease who were initiated on dialysis were included. Dialysis was initiated between October 2011 and September 2013. Electrocardiogram was obtained at dialysis initiation, in March 2015, and September 2016. The mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) event rates of 1520 patients (1028 men and 492 women; mean age, 67.5 ± 13.1 years) who were followed up were compared, and they were divided into 2 groups: the AF group (with AF at least once) and N group (without AF). The prevalence of AF was 6.2, 7.9, and 6.5% at dialysis initiation, in March 2015, and September 2016, respectively, and the incidence of new AF onset was 4.8% in March 2015 and 2.3% in September 2016. In total, 45 (28.0%) and 347 (25.5%) patients died in the AF and N groups, (p = .508), respectively. The incidence rates of CVD event were 91 (56.5%) and 413 (30.4%) in the AF and N groups (p < .001), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, mortality was not significant, but the incidence of CVD event was significantly higher in the AF group. Albumin level was associated with new-onse...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.
