Atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation): treatment in Tashkent

Other names: Фибрилляция предсердий, ФП, трепетание предсердий, аритмия сердца

Atrial fibrillation is the most common stable heart rhythm disorder, in which the atria stop contracting correctly and “flutter”, and the pulse becomes chaotic. The main danger of this arrhythmia is not the interruptions themselves: blood stagnates in the motionless atria and blood clots form, which travel with the blood flow to the brain. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke by about five times, and that is why the main thing in its treatment is not to “even out the pulse,” but to prevent a stroke.

🚨 See a doctor urgently

With these signs do not wait for a scheduled appointment — the condition requires emergency care.

  • Приступ сердцебиения с болью в груди, одышкой, потерей сознания
  • Слабость в руке или ноге, нарушение речи — подозрение на инсульт
  • Пульс выше 150 или ниже 40 ударов в минуту
  • Резкая одышка в покое, невозможность лежать
  • Приступ длится дольше 48 часов — меняется тактика восстановления ритма
  • Внезапная резкая боль и похолодание конечности — возможен тромб в артерии

What happens in the heart

Normally, an electrical impulse originates in the sinus node and passes in an orderly manner through the atria to the ventricles. With atrial fibrillation, many chaotic impulses occur in them - up to 400-600 per minute. The atria do not contract, but tremble slightly, and impulses pass randomly to the ventricles.

This has two consequences: the pulse becomes irregular and often rapid, and the blood in the atria stagnates. A blood clot forms in the left atrial appendage, which can break off and cause a stroke.

Symptoms

  • Feeling of uneven, “jumping” heartbeat, interruptions, freezing
  • Shortness of breath and fatigue with normal activity
  • Weakness, dizziness, sometimes fainting
  • Discomfort or heaviness in the chest
  • Frequent urination during an attack
До трети случаев протекает бессимптомно и выявляется случайно — на ЭКГ перед операцией или при диспансеризации. Именно бессимптомная форма опаснее всего: человек не лечится и не получает защиты от инсульта. Простой навык самоконтроля — регулярно щупать пульс: при мерцательной аритмии он неровный, удары идут через разные промежутки.

Reasons and provocateurs

  • Arterial hypertension is the most common cause
  • Coronary heart disease and previous heart attack
  • Heart defects, especially mitral valve
  • Hyperthyroidism - be sure to check the thyroid gland
  • Sleep apnea, obesity, diabetes
  • Alcohol abuse - including “holiday heart arrhythmia” after a one-time incident
  • Age: after 65 years, the prevalence increases sharply

Survey

  1. ЭКГ — подтверждает диагноз, если аритмия есть в момент записи.
  2. Холтеровское мониторирование 24–72 часа или более длительная регистрация — при приступообразной форме.
  3. Эхокардиография — оценка размеров предсердий, клапанов, функции сердца.
  4. Гормоны щитовидной железы, общий анализ крови, креатинин, электролиты.
  5. Оценка риска инсульта по шкале и риска кровотечения — это определяет назначение антикоагулянтов.

Treatment: three separate tasks

  • The choice between rhythm and frequency control is individual: in young people and with severe symptoms, they often strive to restore the rhythm
  • Catheter ablation is an intervention that isolates foci of arrhythmia in the pulmonary veins; most effective in paroxysmal form
  • If it is impossible to take anticoagulants, closure of the left atrial appendage is considered
  • Treatment of background: hypertension, sleep apnea, hyperthyroidism, weight loss and alcohol cessation significantly reduce the number of attacks
  1. Профилактика инсульта — самая важная. При наличии факторов риска назначаются антикоагулянты. Обычный аспирин для этой цели неэффективен и не заменяет их.
  2. Контроль частоты — препараты, урежающие пульс до комфортных значений; аритмия при этом сохраняется, но человек её не ощущает.
  3. Контроль ритма — восстановление и удержание синусового ритма препаратами, электрической кардиоверсией или катетерной аблацией.
Восстанавливать ритм при приступе длительностью более 48 часов без подготовки антикоагулянтами опасно: в предсердии уже может быть тромб, и восстановление ритма его «вытолкнет». В таких случаях сначала проводят подготовку или чреспищеводную эхокардиографию.

Frequently asked questions: Atrial fibrillation

Why is atrial fibrillation dangerous?+
The main danger is stroke. Blood stagnates in the immobile atria and blood clots form, which travel to the brain. The risk of stroke increases approximately fivefold, and properly selected anticoagulants reduce it radically.
Is aspirin a substitute for anticoagulants?+
No. Aspirin is not effective for preventing stroke in atrial fibrillation. What is needed is anticoagulants, prescribed by a doctor taking into account the risk of stroke and bleeding.
Is it necessary to restore the rhythm?+
Not always. In some patients, especially the elderly and asymptomatic, it is wiser to control the pulse rate while leaving the arrhythmia. The forecast for both strategies is comparable, and the decision is made individually.
What to do if you have an attack at home?+
Measure your pulse and blood pressure, take the medication prescribed by your doctor, sit down and calm down. If you have chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, or a pulse above 150, call an ambulance. If the attack lasts longer than 48 hours, you cannot restore the rhythm on your own.
Does ablation help permanently?+
Catheter ablation significantly reduces the number of attacks, especially in the paroxysmal form. However, some patients require a repeat procedure, and anticoagulants are not always discontinued after it - this depends on the risk of stroke, and not on the presence of a rhythm.
