Atrial fibrillation and heart failure in the elderly

Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical problem in elderly patients and especially in those with heart failure (HF). It is a major risk factor for serious cardiovascular events, such as stroke, HF and premature death. Both the prevalence and incidence of AF increase with age and its prevalence in the United States are estimated at more than 2.2 million, with nearly 75% of patients aged >65 years. Aging-related atrial remodeling with fibrosis, dilation and mitochondrial DNA mutations predispose elderly pa… Show more

“…Current practice guidelines suggest that there is no long-term survival benefit of rate and rhythm control in AF management, leading to more focus on rate control than on rhythm in AF [4,19]. AF is more common in elderly patients and its consequences are more pronounced as AF-related cerebrovascular accidents tend to be more devastating and debilitating [20,21,22,23]. HF is also more common in the elderly [21,24].…”

“…Возрастные изменения сердечно-сосуди-стой системы одновременно предрасполагают к раз-витию как ФП, так и хронической сердечной недоста-точности (ХСН). Кроме того, ФП способствует развитию ХСН, а ХСН -развитию ФП, что в итоге приводит к фор-мированию порочного круга [13]. Риск развития ХСН у пациентов с ФП повышен в 3 раза по сравнению с ли-цами без данного заболевания [14], а распространен-ность ФП среди больных с ХСН возрастает по мере уве-личения тяжести последней, и составляет у пациентов с I классом ХСН по Нью-Йорской классификации 4-5%, с II-III классом -10-27%, IV классом -50% [15,16].…”
