ABSTRACT
Wealthy nations must step up support for Africa and vulnerable countries in addressing past, present and future impacts of climate change The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on earth, characterised by ecosystem collapse, species extinction, and climate hazards such as heatwaves and floods (1). These are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity and mortality. To avoid these catastrophic health effects across all regions of the globe, there is broad agreementas 231 health journals argued together in 2021that the rise in global temperature must be limited to less than 1.5oC compared with pre-industrial levels.
El informe de 2022 del Panel Intergubernamental sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC por sus siglas en inglés) pinta un panorama sombrío del futuro de la vida en la tierra, caracterizado por el colapso de los ecosistemas, la extinción de (1)especies y los peligros climáticos como olas de calor e inundaciones. Todos ellos están vinculados a problemas de salud física y mental, con consecuencias directas e indirectas de aumento de la morbilidad y mortalidad. Para evitar estos efectos catastrócos para la salud en todas las regiones del mundo, existe un amplio acuerdo, como argumentaron 231 revistas de salud juntas en 2021, en que el aumento de la temperatura global debe limitarse a menos de 1,5 °C en comparación con los niveles preindustriales
ABSTRACT
Auricular fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, yet the optimal strategy for its management remains unclear. Since the study AFFIRM from which resulted them final were deferred in December 2002, the assumption of responsibility of the fibrillation of the old subject tends to become clarified. 86 patients at least 65 years or more were enrolled in our retrospective study from January 1997 to June 2003. The mean age is 70 years [65 to 82 years] and sex ratio to 0.79. 34% had a history of hypertension and 12 % had a coronary artery disease. 2 groups were individualized, according to the year of admission before or after 2002. It comes out from these work 2 points: the restoration of the sinusal rhythm was the first choice. In the event of failure, the option was to maintain fibrillation and this, in the 2 groups. The AVK were founded in the large majority of the cases only after year 2002
