HT (37%) - Common in Afro-Carribeans
IHD (29%) - Common in Indo Asians Slightly in men

Aetiology of AFCOMMONCOMMON
Heart Failure Hypertension Cardiac Ischaemia MI Mitral Valve Disease Pnuemonia Hyperthyroid Alcohol

Symptoms with atrial fibrillation
Often none Limited exercise tolerance (dyspnoea, fatigue) Angina Palpitations Presyncope and syncope Heart failure Stroke
![Page 16: AFter all’s said and done By Kevin Kulendra Abigail Hoyle Thomas Bean Iram Yasin Sharon Wong Chris Oscier](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649dc35503460f94ab55c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Presentation Commonly presents as reduced exercise tolerance and heart failure.
Other presentations include dyspnoea, angina, palpitation and dizziness.
Symptoms may be more pronounced on exercise. Occasionally, emergency presentation;
presyncope, syncope, fatigue, dyspnoea, gross pulmonary oedema, angina, cerebral underperfusion, stroke.
![Page 17: AFter all’s said and done By Kevin Kulendra Abigail Hoyle Thomas Bean Iram Yasin Sharon Wong Chris Oscier](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649dc35503460f94ab55c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Physical findings
Pulse irregular in rate, rhythm and volume. Variable intensity of the first heart sound. Absence of “a” waves in the JVP. With fast ventricular rates, an apex-radial pulse
deficit appears (weak contractions may be unable to transmit an arterial pulse wave through the peripheral artery).

Management of AF•Is it AF? - Confirm & Document Arrythmia
•Assess for cause & complications
•Acute - ensure haemodynamic stability
Acute AFAcute AF•Maybe Self-limiting
•Anticoagulate with IV Hep ± warfarin
•Treat compliactions
•Consider rate control or cardioversion
Chronic AFChronic AF
Paroxysmal AFParoxysmal AF
•Aim is to paroxysms and maintain sinus rhythm
•Consider anti-thrombotic therapy
•In resistant cases, consider non-pharmacological methods
Persistent AFPersistent AF
•Aim is to cardiovert to sinus rhythm
•Anticoagulate
•Consider anti-arrythmic therapy to maintain sinus rhythm post cardioversion
Permanent AFPermanent AF
• Aim is heart rate control and thromboprophylaxis
•Consider drug for rate control
•Consider warfarin or aspirin
•In resistant cases, consider non-pharmacological methods.
Sustained AFSustained AF

Heart failure
Sudden onset of fast AF may precipitate heart failure.
Especially if L.ventricular function is already compromised by co-existing heart disease.
Heart failure is associated with AF in approx 35% of cases.
![Page 21: AFter all’s said and done By Kevin Kulendra Abigail Hoyle Thomas Bean Iram Yasin Sharon Wong Chris Oscier](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649dc35503460f94ab55c3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stroke Non-rheumatic AF increases the risk of stroke fivefold. AF is present in approx. 15% of patients presenting with
acute stroke. Risk of stroke in a patient with AF is about 5% a year.
The risk increases with age, BP, and evidence of other heart disease.
Increased risk of recurrent stroke and silent cerebral infarcts.
Patients with acute stroke and AF have higher mortality than those in sinus rhythm.
![Page 22: AFter all’s said and done By Kevin Kulendra Abigail Hoyle Thomas Bean Iram Yasin Sharon Wong Chris Oscier](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649dc35503460f94ab55c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Thromboembolism
AF predisposes to the formation of intracardiac thrombus; this may result in stroke and thromboembolism.
Commonest site of thrombus is the left atrial appendage.
Right atrial thrombus with subsequent PE is a rare complication.
![Page 23: AFter all’s said and done By Kevin Kulendra Abigail Hoyle Thomas Bean Iram Yasin Sharon Wong Chris Oscier](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649dc35503460f94ab55c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ANTICOAGULATION
INDICATIONS Previous thromboembolism Left atrial enlargement AF associated with:
valvular heart disease Left ventricular dysfunction Old age (>75) Hypertension
• Other Pt aspirin.• Young Pt (<60) with lone AF; no Rx
unless caused by alcoholic heart disease, thyrotoxicosis or sick sinus syndrome.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS Pregnancy Peptic ulcer disease Severe hypertension Bacterial endocarditis Non-thromboembolic stroke Haemostatic defect Caution with:
Hepatic and renal disease Recent surgery Breast feeding
![Page 24: AFter all’s said and done By Kevin Kulendra Abigail Hoyle Thomas Bean Iram Yasin Sharon Wong Chris Oscier](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649dc35503460f94ab55c3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MECHANISM OF ACTION WARFARIN ASPIRIN ACENOCOUMAROL (NICOUMALONE) PHENINDONE Side Effects:
Haemorrhage Hypersensitivity, rash, alopecia Jaundice, reduced haematocrit, hepatic
dysfunction Skin necrosis Pancreatitis Diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting
(Take at least 48-72 hrs to develop fully; if immediate anticoagulation necessary, concommitant heparin)
![Page 25: AFter all’s said and done By Kevin Kulendra Abigail Hoyle Thomas Bean Iram Yasin Sharon Wong Chris Oscier](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649dc35503460f94ab55c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DOSE AND INTERACTIONS Induction 10mg daily for 2 days Subsequent maintenance depending on prothrombin ratio
Usually 3-9mg SAME TIME Target INR 2.5 Monitoring daily/alternate days early in Rx then at longer intervals (depending on
response) then up to every 12 weeks
AN INCREASED ANTICOAGULANT EFFECT DUE TO WARFARIN Decreased metabolism: TADs, cimetidine, phenothiazines, amiodarone Increased hepatic sensitivity: clofibrate, quinidine Decreased vit. K absorption: broad-spectrum antibiotics, cholestyramine Displacement from albumin: sulphonamides Platelet inhibition: aspirin Potentiation: alcohol xs (heart failure, liver/renal disease, thyrotoxicosis, fever)
A DECREASED ANTICOAGULANT EFFECT DUE TO WARFARIN Increased clearance by hepatic enzyme induction: rifampicin and barbiturates
