Atrial fibrillation is associated with excess mortality. This analysis was performed to determine the magnitude of the excess mortality risk.
Life table analysis of a published study of 350 patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation of the atrioventricular node and permanent pacemaker implantation for symptomatic paroxysmal or chronic atrial fibrillation. A substantial proportion of subjects had evidence of left ventricular dysfunction.
In this cohort, compared to expected population mortality, the relative mortality ratio was 234% and the annual excess death rate was 46 deaths/1000.
心房颤动与额外死亡率相关。进行该分析以确定额外死亡风险的程度。
对一项已发表的研究进行生命表分析,该研究纳入了350例因症状性阵发性或慢性心房颤动接受房室结射频消融和永久性起搏器植入的患者。相当一部分受试者有左心室功能障碍的证据。
在该队列中,与预期的人群死亡率相比,相对死亡率为234%,年额外死亡率为每1000人中有46例死亡。
