Clinical Characteristics, Management, and Control of Permanent vs. Nonpermanent Atrial Fibrillation: Insights from the RealiseAF Survey

Abstract: BackgroundAtrial fibrillation can be categorized into nonpermanent and permanent atrial fibrillation. There is less information on permanent than on nonpermanent atrial fibrillation patients. This analysis aimed to describe the characteristics and current management, including the proportion of patients with successful atrial fibrillation control, of these atrial fibrillation subsets in a large, geographically diverse contemporary sample.Methods and ResultsData from RealiseAF, an international, observational, … Show more

“…In addition, only few studies calculated costs from a societal perspective, which is recommended for economic evaluation [16]. Likewise, while currently only few cost-of-illness studies took into account the type of AF, decision-analytic models would require more detailed analyses of subpopulations, such as people with different clinical manifestations of AF, who are subject to different treatment approaches [26,40,49]. A further application of cost-of-illness information could be budget impact analysis, which is often conducted alongside cost-effectiveness analysis [50].…”

“…Most of these patients (75-85%) suffer from either sustained or permanent AF with some form of heart disease and atrial remodeling (Murin et al, 2014), which is defined as any structural or electrical alteration that predisposes the atrium to arrhythmias. Evidence supports the contribution of atrial remodeling and fibrosis to the genesis of AF, and conversely, reduced atrial fibrosis correlates with less AF in both paroxysmal and permanent forms (Li et al, 2001;Liu et al, 2008;Marrouche et al, 2014).…”

“…Постійна форма фібриляції передсердь (ПФФП) спостерігається у половини хворих на ФП [1][2][3]. Частота серцевих скорочень (ЧСС) у спокої >80 уд/хв фіксується майже у 50 % пацієнтів із ПФФП [2, 3]. Адекватний контроль ЧСС пов'язаний зі зниженням проявів симптомів аритмії та серцевої недостатності (СН) і є важли-вою мішенню для поліпшення терапії хворих на ПФФП [2].…”

“…Розпо-всюдженість ФП змінюється із віком: у осіб мо-лодше 49 років -0,12-0,16 %; у людей віком 60-70 років -3,70-4,20 %, а у осіб у віці 80 років або старше -10-17 % [1].
