Correlation study of the cause of atrial fibrillation and atrial enlargement / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the related analysis of the cause of atrial fibrillation and atrial size.Methods Among 133 cases of inpatients suffened atrial fibrillation,the 12 lead electrocardiogram(ECG) was recorded to analyze atrial fibrillation,and the echocardiography was used to measure the atrium size.Results The diameter of left atrium was obviously enlarged along with the age,but the variety of right atrium was unobvious.The left atrium enlargement was present in 68% with atrial fibrillation,among which the left atrium enlargement were present in 40.46% with hypertension heart disease(54 cases),in 35.33% with coronary heart disease(47 cases),and in 14.28% with valve disease(19 cases).Conclusion The left atrium enlargement is related to atrial fibrillation.We infer that atrial fibrillation could enlarge the left atrium,rather than that is induced by the left atrium enlargement.
