Effects of different interventions on prognosis and quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation

Abstract

Objective: To compare the effects of different intervention measures on prognosis and quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation, in order to provide clinical basis for diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A total of 160 patients who visited several hospitals including Shanghai Xinhua Hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were selected. Among them, 40 cases were in the drug treatment group (DRUG group), 40 cases in the radiofrequency ablation group (Radiofrequency ablation, RFA group), and 40 cases in the catheter ablation combined with percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion group (“"one-stop”" procedure group) and 40 cases in the percutaneous left atrial appendage closure group (Left atrial appendage closure, LAAC group). The Minnesota quality of life score (MLHFQ), ejection fraction (LVEF), and left atrial anterior and posterior diameters (LAD) were compared between the groups at 1-year follow-up, and the differences in adverse events were compared between the groups. Results: (1) After a 1-year follow-up, overall comparison, the MLHFQ scores and the LVEF and the LAD among the four groups were statistically different (p .05); in the LAAC group, the MLHFQ scores was increased, the LVEF was decreased, and the LAD was increased (p
