Impact of rate control in hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation and sepsis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sepsis is defined as a dysregulated host response to several types of infections [1], still representing challenging issue in Medicine. Atrial Fibrillation (AF) frequently occurs patients with sepsis and septic shock [2], one difficult challenge for treating physicians: increased heart rate loss atrial kick worsen myocardial function cardiac output [3]. Unsurprisingly, AF has been consistently associated worse outcomes

Incident stroke and mortality associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients hospitalized with severe sepsis.
CONTEXT New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) has been reported in 6% to 20% of patients with severe sepsis. Chronic AF is a known risk factor for stroke and death, but the clinical significance of new-onset AF in the setting of severe sepsis is uncertain. OBJECTIVE To determine the in-hospital stroke and in-hospital mortality risks associated with new-onset AF in patients with severe sepsis. ...
متن کاملLenient versus strict rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Rate control is often the therapy of choice for atrial fibrillation. Guidelines recommend strict rate control, but this is not based on clinical evidence. We hypothesized that lenient rate control is not inferior to strict rate control for preventing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. METHODS We randomly assigned 614 patients with...

متن کاملRate control in atrial fibrillation.
Untreated atrial fibrillation is usually associated with a rapid, irregular ventricular response and is often accompanied by symptoms including palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea, and dizziness. It is widely accepted that slowing the ventricular response, both at rest and during activity, with the use of drugs that prolong the refractory period of the atrioventricular (AV) node (so-called rate-cont...
متن کاملRate control in atrial fibrillation.
Control of the heart rate (rate control) is central to atrial fibrillation management, even for patients who ultimately require control of the rhythm. We review heart rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation, including the rationale for the intervention, patient selection, and the treatments available. The choice of rate control depends on the symptoms and clinical characteristics of t...
