Retrospective study of 1176 patients with known coronary heart disease by cardiac catheterisation disclosed 10 patients (0.8%) with atrial fibrillation. Comparison with 25 randomly selected patients with coronary heart disease with sinus rhythm showed that atrial fibrillation correlated significantly with impaired haemodynamic function, mitral regurgitation, and abnormalities of left ventricular contraction. Atrial fibrillation is, therefore, a useful marker of extensive myocardial dysfunction.
对1176例经心导管检查确诊为冠心病的患者进行回顾性研究,发现10例(0.8%)患有心房颤动。将这10例心房颤动患者与25例随机选取的窦性心律冠心病患者进行比较,结果显示心房颤动与血流动力学功能受损、二尖瓣反流及左心室收缩异常显著相关。因此,心房颤动是广泛心肌功能障碍的一个有用指标。
