Clinical assessment of patients with atrial fibrillation and risk factors for this disorder in Iran

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia heart Sustain its prevalence increases with age, as well as heart disease and W.P.W, thyrotoxicosis, cardiac surgery, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and pulmonary diseases occur. By creating this heart arrhythmia surgery reduced the risk of embolism sending to critical areas of the body and also increases the risk of death. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate patients with atrial fibrillation and risk factors for this disorder in Iran. Methods: This scientific review article by searching on Google scholar, magiran, Sid, PubMed and iranmedex with keywords atrial fibrillation, arrhythmias Sustain, cardiac arrhythmia, risk factors was conducted between 1990 and 2015. Results: The results of different studies showed that the prevalence of AF and hyperthyroidism concurrency between 14 and 26 percent, respectively. Thyroid dysfunction in male patients with AF up to 15% in women between 11 and 13.6 percent, respectively. In patients with Atrial Fibrillation up to 63% and between 36 and 58% in the group without sleep apnea were high risk. The most common complaint was heart disease and most common type of AF was associated with increased ventricular response. The most common in hospitals and long-hospital medication digoxin and further treatment was to reduce the ventricular rate. Blood pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation was significantly more than patients without atrial fibrillation. A significant correlation between age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate and neurological problems existed with atrial fibrillation. Discussion: According the high prevalence of sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation, it is obvious that the screening methods used to identify patients to reduce their risk factors. Also, due to the prevalence of AF and hyperthyroidism at the same time studies, can reduce stress and anxiety factors, such as avoiding smoking and heart disease to be prevented to some extent from this.
