Etiology distribution of patients with atrial fibrilation by echocardiography: results from a prospective study in 3755 adults
Enes Abdovic Cantonal Hospital Zenica, Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Purpose• Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained
cardiac arrhythmia 1
• It is a disease of the elderly and it is common in patients with structural heart disease1
• Hypertension (HA), diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, heart failure (with impaired or preserved left ventricular systolic function), and valvular heart disease are recognized predisposing factors to AF2,3,4
• Objectives: To evaluate predisposing factors for development of AF in our hospital settings

Purpose
• From June 2000 to February 2013, 3755 consecutive patients with AF were studied during echocardiographic check-up
• According to transthoracic echo, patients were divided in groups based on dominative underlying heart diseases
• Electrocardiographically documented AF was subdivided in two groups: transitory and chronic– Transitory AF fulfilled criteria for paroxysmal or persistent AF1
– Chronic AF were cases of long-standing persistent or permanent AF1
• Binary logistic regression was used to investigate relationship of gender, age, hypertension, diabetes and underlying heart diseases with the type of AF

MethodsMethods
Results
• The median age was 72 years, age range between 16 and 96 years
• There were 51.4% of females. • Chronic AF was observed in 68.3% pts. • Lone AF was diagnosed in only 25 patients,
mostly in younger males (median age 48 years, range 29–59, men 80%)

Characteristics of patients with chronic vs. transitory AF
Results (2)
• Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) was the most common underlying heart disease (40.2%) followed by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 24.9%, coronary artery disease (CAD), 13.9% and valvular heart disease (VHD), 11.1%.
• Thyroid gland disease was found in 240:6.3% of patients of which 52.9% was hypothyroidism (127 vs 113)

• (HA: 1556pts/2832=55.0%) • (DM: 453pts/706=64.2%)• (Thy.gl.disease: 193pts/240=80.4%)

Conclusion
• Hypertension was by far the most prevalent associated medical condition in patients with AF
• AF without underlying heart disease was present in only 0.7%, mostly in younger patients, males, with transitory AF
• Almost 1/2 of pts with AF had HF and 59.2% had diastolic HF.
• Chronic AF was predominant in groups with advanced cardiac remodeling such as DCM and VHD, mostly in elderly
Conclusion
Conclusion
• Optimal treatement of HA as well as DM
• to prevent CAD and HF and • to eliminate or at least postpone AF,
the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia
