GENERAL CARDIOVASCULAR RISK AND THE CLINICAL CONDITION OF PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

  • L. A. Martimyanova

Abstract

General cardiovascular risk (GCVR) in the clinical condition of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) on 282 patients (165 men and 117 women) aged 64,6 ± 9,7 years was studied. In 137 patients was diagnosed permanent AF and in 145 - persistent with duration of the disease from 3 months to 25 years. Sex and age of the patients, form and duration of AF, functional class (FC) of IHD, presence of postinfarction cardiosclerosis, stage and severity of AH, stage and functional class (FC) of HF, class EHRA of AF was determined. GCVR was calculated in accordance with the scale SCORE. Patients were classified into groups of GCVR. Statistical evaluation was performed by parametric (estimation of mean (M) and standard deviation (sd)) and non-parametric (Student t-test and Mann-Whitney test) methods. Expediency of using GCVR in assessing severity of the health status of patients with AF was demonstrated. With the rise of GCVR class increases frequency and severity of arterial hypertension, IHD and HF. Patients with AF require for more attention with increasing of GCVR class.
