Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 6
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, occurring in 1–2% of the general population. AF confers a 5-fold risk of stroke. Much earlier detection of the arrhythmia might allow the timely introduction of therapies to protect the patient, not only from the consequences of the arrhythmia, but also from progression of AF from an easily treated condition to an utterly refractory problem. AIM OF STUDY: Analysis of etiological features, clinical features and Complications of atrial fibrillation. METHODOLOGY: 100 cases of atrial fibrillation both male and female were included in the study. The diagnosis was made on clinical grounds and then confirmed by ECG and Echo cardiogram. RESULTS: In this study of atrial fibrillation, the occurrence of AF is maximum in age group 61 and above. Out of 100 cases 43 cases were male, 57 cases were female, and 60 cases were rheumatic heart disease. CONCLUSION: In this study common aetiology of AF was RHD 60% followed by Hypertensive heart disease and Ischemic heart disease each carries 10%. The most common symptomatic presentations were dyspnea and palpitation followed by chest pain and dizziness. The commonest complication noted was heart failure.
