To probe the feasibility of acupuncture in conversion of paroxymal atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
Eighty cases of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were randomly divided into 2 groups, a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group were treated with acupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6), Shenmen (HT 7), Danzhong (CV 17) and others, and the control group with intravenous injection of amiodarone. The cardiac rhythms and side effects were observed in the two groups.
The total effective rate of 85.0% in the treatment group was better than 67.5% in the control group (P < 0.01). The average conversion time was (39.6 +/- 13.7) min in the treatment group and (50.1 +/- 14.8) min in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). No adverse effect was found in the treatment group.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective therapy for conversion of paroxymal atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
探讨针刺转复阵发性心房颤动及心房扑动的可行性。
将80例心房颤动及心房扑动患者随机分为2组，即治疗组和对照组，每组40例。治疗组采用针刺内关（PC 6）、神门（HT 7）、膻中（CV 17）等穴位，对照组采用静脉注射胺碘酮。观察两组的心律及副作用。
治疗组总有效率为85.0%，优于对照组的67.5%（P<0.01）。治疗组平均转复时间为（39.6±13.7）分钟，对照组为（50.1±14.8）分钟，两组差异有统计学意义（P<0.01）。治疗组未发现不良反应。
针刺是转复阵发性心房颤动及心房扑动安全有效的治疗方法。
