IGLESIAS PEREZ, Orlando; CUELLO BERMUDEZ, Ernesto Jesús; HECHAVARRIA MARTINEZ, Arturo e RAMON JORGE, Mariela. Structural remodeling and risk of recurrence in atrial fibrillation. Multimed [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp. 490-509. ISSN 1028-4818.
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent sustained dysrhythmia of the past century; In order to characterize the risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation and its relationship with cardiac structural remodeling, a descriptive study of a series of cases was conducted at the Vladimir Ilich Lenin Hospital in 2017. The analysis of the referred information 100 patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation identified the following results: of the patients studied, 41 (54.7%) were female and over 55 years old; the indicators of the prognostic index prevailed in the high risk of recurrence; the risk of high recurrence in mitral valvelets with predominance of mitral stenosis reached 40.7% of patients, as well as dilation of the left atrium in this same group, with a total of 22 patients (81.4%). A total of 15 patients, who represented 55.6%, had a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction with a high risk of recurrence. The highest percent of patients presented a significant and very significant p value; and finally, 22% of the patients with high risk of recurrence presented structural cardiac remodeling. It was concluded that the studied condition predominated in patients over 55 years old, female, with a high risk of recurrence in relation to the indicators of the prognostic index and predictors of structural remodeling, which justifies the alternative hypothesis, with a high clinical value and statistical.
