This article aims to analyze the relationship between non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF), exploring the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and implications for clinical management. NOCAD and AF are prevalent cardiovascular conditions that often coexist, yet their interrelation is not well understood. NOCAD can lead to ischemic necrosis of cardiomyocytes and their replacement with fibrous tissue, sustaining focal ectopic activity in atrial myocardium. Atrial fibrillation, on the other hand, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, is able to accelerate atherosclerosis and increase oxygen consumption in the myocardium, creating a mismatch between supply and demand, and thus promoting the development or worsening of coronary ischemia. Therefore, NOCAD and AF seem to be a complex interplay with one begets another.
本文旨在分析非阻塞性冠状动脉疾病(NOCAD)与心房颤动(AF)之间的关系,探讨其潜在的病理生理机制及其对临床管理的意义。NOCAD和AF是常见的心血管疾病,常并存,但它们之间的相互关系尚未完全明确。NOCAD可导致心肌细胞缺血坏死并被纤维组织替代,维持心房肌的局灶性异位活动。另一方面,心房颤动是最常见的持续性心律失常,能够加速动脉粥样硬化并增加心肌耗氧量,导致供需失衡,从而促进冠状动脉缺血的发展或恶化。因此,NOCAD和AF似乎存在着相互影响、互为因果的复杂关系。
