The heart bangs?Don't think it is a "Little Deer Banging", the latent killer of a small room fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation and heart failure are two challenging diseases in the 21st century medicine, and they are also known as the last two battlefields of cardiovascular disease.

Maybe you feel that atrial fibrillation is a heart disease and is far from yourself, but this is not the case.

In the crowd, the incidence of atrial fibrillation is still very high. According to statistics, the incidence of atrial fibrillation of adults is about 5%, and the higher the age, the higher the incidence.

Today, the Fourth People's Hospital of Changde City will give you a science knowledge about atrial fibrillation.

How does a person's heart run normally

The human heart can normally beating normally, relying on a structure called "sinus knot, which can be understood as the center of the whole heart.

The heart has the two atriums and ventricles, that is, 4 small rooms.

Each of the heart beating is a signal of the sinus, and then passed to the atrium, and the atrium is transmitted to the ventricle.

The transmission of signals between the cells of the heart is fast, but the signal transmission between the atrium and the ventricle is relatively slow, which will delay for a while.

The advantage of this is that all cells in the entire atrium are equivalent to receiving signals at the same time and can shrink at the same time. The same is true of the cells in the ventricular, and the entire ventricular contraction is shrinking at the same time.

However, because there is a delay between the atrium and the ventricle, it causes the atrium to shrink first, and then the ventricular contraction.

Atrial shrinkage, pump blood to the ventricle, the ventricular contraction and blood pressure out of the heart, to the whole body.

What is atrial fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation is the abbreviation of atrial fibrillation, and is the most common arrhythmia.

Atrial fibrillation is the original and orderly beating of the atrium, and it becomes no order and rapid beating. In this way, it leads to a series of symptoms.

There can be adverse consequences such as decreased heart output and thrombosis. If not treated in time, some patients can cause death.

What are the causes of atrial fibrillation?

Hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery heart disease are the most common chronic diseases in patients with atrial fibrillation. Other causes, including excessive alcohol intake, heart failure, heart valve disease, infection, hyperthyroidism, and so on.

What are the hazards of atrial fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation is called invisible killer, and its harm is:

1. Increase mortality.

2. Pump blood that can make the two atriums of the heart unable to normally cause blood coagulation. The blood clot can reach the brain with the blood flow to cause stroke. The probability of a stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation will be 5.6 times greater than that of normal people.

3. Atrial fibrillation can cause embolism incidents, including the embolism of important organs around.

4. Atrial fibrillation will lose about 25%of the heart function, which is an independent risk factor for heart failure.

What are the symptoms of atrial fibrillation?

Unfortunately, some patients may have no symptoms and need to be discovered by electrocardiogram and other examinations. Patients with symptoms may occur, including the following:

1. Feeling the heartbeat is accelerated, and the auscultation is not so rhythmic. If it is not a doctor and no listener, you can let relatives and friends stick to the auditory area with your ears.

When you listen, you can find that the heart can sometimes leak (after the fight, stop for a long time), or jump irregularly.

2. Patients who feel chest tightness or chest pain. Patients with chest pain should pay attention to distinguish with the ischemia of the heart, such as myocardial infarction or angina pectoris.

3. During the attack, you can feel dizzy, standing or walking seems to be fainted.

4. Difficult to breathe, especially when exercising.

5. The beating of heart and pulse is inconsistent.

If these symptoms occur, go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram and other examinations to understand the electrical motion of the heart in order to take the correct treatment measures.

The treatment of atrial fibrillation

1. Use drugs to control heartbeat speed or rhythm, specific medication, because it is a special drug, you need to use it under the guidance of a specialist.

2. Use anticoagulant drugs, such as Huafalin, Lidiastan, etc., need to be used under the guidance of a specialist.

3. Use mild current to restore the heart to normal rhythm, also called heart compound rhythm.

4. Cardiac tissue that uses high temperature or low temperature methods to destroy an abnormal electrical signal, also known as "ablation". The use of high -temperature ablation is called "radio frequency discharge". Low -temperature ablation is called "frozen discharge".

5. Plant the pacemaker, the device sends a telegram to the heart to control the heartbeat.

How to prevent recurrence of atrial fibrillation

For patients with a history of atrial fibrillation, even if the heartbeat is normal, measures should be taken to prevent the recurrence of atrial fibrillation.

1. Control blood pressure;

2. Quit alcohol or drink less;

3. Reduce caffeine intake;

4. Treatment of hyperthyroidism;

5, regular exercise;

6. If those who belong to overweight should be appropriately reduced;

7, relieve psychological pressure.

Change the poor lifestyle is the most important way to prevent atrial fibrillation and recurrence. When you have a panic and difficulty breathing, you feel that your heartbeat is more chaotic, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram and other examinations.

At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish between severe ischemia heart disease.
