ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de Fibrilación Auricular en pacientes hospitalizados por Enfermedad Cerebrovascular. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Se revisaron las historias clínicas de pacientes con diagnóstico de Enfermedad Cerebrovascular del Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia y del Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza desde febrero a junio del 2006, completßndose 136 casos (29 del Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia y 107 del Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza). Resultados: Entre los 136 pacientes con Enfermedad Cerebrovascular, 116 fueron de etiología isquémica (85.3 por ciento) y 20 hemorrßgica. 75 fueron mujeres (55.1 por ciento). La prevalencia de Fibrilación Auricular encontrada fue:13,2 por ciento. La edad media de los pacientes con Fibrilación Auricular (79.72 ± 7.09) fue mayor que aquellos sin Fibrilación Auricular (65.75 ± 14.73) (p<0.01). La dilatación auricular izquierda fue el hallazgo ecocardiogrßfico mßs frecuente (92.3 por ciento) en pacientes con Fibrilación Auricular (p<0.01). Conclusiones: La Fibrilación Auricular es una entidad frecuente en pacientes con Enfermedad Cerebrovascular; aproximadamente 1 de cada 8 personas con Enfermedad Cerebrovascular tiene Fibrilación Auricular, siendo la edad media de estos pacientes mayor. No es infrecuente encontrar pacientes con evento cardioembólico y otras comorbilidades.


Objective: To determine the prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation in hospitalized patients with the diagnosis of Cerebrovascular Disease. Material and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was made. The clinical charts of hospitalized patients with the diagnosis of Cerebrovascular Disease from February to June 2006 in ôHospital Nacional Cayetano Herediaõ and ôHospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayzaõ were reviewed. 136 cases were reviewed (29 from the Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia, and 107 from the Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza). Results: Among the patients with Cerebrovascular Disease, 116 were ischemic (85.3 per cent) and 20 were hemorrhagic. 75 were females (55.1 per cent). The prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation found was 13.2 per cent. The mean age of the Atrial Fibrillation group (79.72 ± 7.09) was higher than those without it (65.75 ± 14.73) (p< 0.01). Left atrium`s enlargement was the most frequent finding in the Atrial Fibrillation group (92.3 per cent) (p<0.01). Conclusions: Atrial Fibrillation is a frequent entity in patients with Cerebrovascular Disease, approximately 1 of every 8 patients with stroke hasAtrial Fibrillation. The mean age of patients with Atrial Fibrillation is higher than those without it. Patients whohad suffered a cardioembolic event also have various comorbidities associated.
