Цель. Сравнить эффективность и безопасность медикаментозной кардиоверсии новым антиаритмическим препаратом Рефралон с электрической кардиоверсией у больных с персистирующей фибрилляцией предсердий (ФП) Материал и методы. 60 больных с персистирующей формой ФП были рандомизированы в группы электрической (ЭКВ; n=30) и медикаментозной кардиоверсии (МКВ; n=30). Статистически значимые различия по основным клиническим характеристикам между группами отсутствовали. После предварительного обследования, исключившего противопоказания, в условиях блока интенсивной терапии проводилась попытка восстановления синусового ритма (СР). В группе ЭКВ применяли бифазные синхронизированные разряды 150 Дж и 170 Дж. В группе МКВ производилось внутривенное введение Рефралона в дозе 10 мкг/кг, в случае сохранения ФП введение повторяли через 15 мин (максимальная доза составляла 30 мкг/кг). Наблюдение за больными продолжали в течение 24 ч. Результаты. Восстановление СР (первичный критерий эффективности) отмечено у 27 из 30 больных (90%) в группе ЭКВ и у 28 из 30 больных (93,3%) в группе МКВ; 95% доверительный интервал (ДИ) составил [-0,1-0,16]. В группе ЭКВ после восстановления СР у одного больного отмечен рецидив ФП. В группе МКВ рецидивы ФП не отмечались. Таким образом, в группе ЭКВ через 24 ч СР сохранялся у 26 из 30 больных (86,7%); в группе МКВ-у 28 из 30 больных (93,3%). При этом 95%ДИ для вторичного критерия эффективности (сохранение СР через 24 ч) составил [-0,07-0,19]. Заключение. МКВ с использованием Рефралона в дозах от 10 до 30 мкг/кг по первичным и вторичным критериям эффективности не уступает ЭКВ, которая на протяжении длительного времени считалась «методом выбора» в восстановлении СР у больных персистирующей ФП.

Alterations of heart rhythm are a common clinical event. They can be caused by almost any kind of heart disorder. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm. Prevalence of AF in the general population is 1-2%, and given that AF incidence rate continues to increase it can be predicted that the number of patients will be doubled within the next 50 years. This review provides the most recent diagnostic and treatment methods, including both unique domestic antiarrhythmic drugs and non - drug methods for AF treatment which were developed and implemented in clinical practice at NMRC of Cardiology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
