Atriyal Fibrilasyonda Antitrombotik Kullanım Endikasyonları

Öz

Atriyal fibrilasyon, klinik yaşamda en sık karşılaşı- lan kardiyak ritim bozukluğudur. Ritim bozukluğu nedeni ile hastaneye yatışların yaklaşık 1/3’ü bu aritmiye bağlıdır. Atriyal fibrilasyonda inme önemli morbidite nedenidir. Bu komplikasyonu önlemede en etkili tedavi yöntemi antitrombotik tedavilerin kullanımıdır. Atriyal fibrilasyonda inme riski yaş ile birlikte artış gösterir. Atriyal fibrilasyona bağlı iske- mik inmeler, diğer sebeplere bağlı inmelere göre iki kat mortalite riski taşırlar. Bu derlemede, gün- cel yayınlanmış olan kılavuzlara göre AF’de risk değerlendirilmesi ve çeşitli durumlarda antitrombo- tik tedavi kullanım endikasyonları tartışılmıştır

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Atriyal fibrilasyon, antitrombotik tedavi, inme.
