Quality of life in atrial fibrillation patients. Clinical stakes

Annales de cardiologie et d'angéiologie
L Guédon-Moreau

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients' quality of life (QOL), as measured with generic or disease-specific instruments, is impaired. Age, sex and comorbidity impact QOL scores in AF patients. Therapeutic interventions have tried to improve QOL in AF patients with mitigated results.

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.

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.
