Giriş:
Kapak dışı atriyal fibrilasyonu (AF) olan
hastalarda uzun dönemde gerçekleşen tüm sebeplere bağlı ve kardiyovasküler
nedenlere bağlı mortaliteyi belirlemeyi amaçladık.

Hastalar
ve Yöntem: 1995 ile 2010 yılları
arasında kliniğimize başvuran ve kapak dışı AF tanısı konan 352 hasta (153
erkek, 199 kadın; ort. yaş 62; dağılım 34-82) geriye dönük olarak incelendi.
Takip süresi 72-176 ay arasında değişmekteydi (ort. 110 ay).

Bulgular:
Atriyal fibrilasyon etkeni veya ilişkili durumu
olarak hipertansiyon (%51.1), koroner kalp hastalığı (%29.9), kalp yetersizliği
(%48.8), diabetes mellitus (%11.9), pulmoner hipertansiyon (%9.9) saptandı.
İzlem sırasında 72 hastanın (%21) öldüğü belirlendi. Ölümler 30 hastada (%41.7)
kardiyovasküler nedenli, 20 hastada (%27.8) inme kaynaklı, altı hastada (%8.3)
ani ölüm idi; 16 hastada (%22.2) ölümler diğer nedenlere (malignite, kaza,
infeksiyon vb.) bağlandı.

Sonuç: Kapak dışı AF’li  hastalarda uzun dönemde ana ölüm nedeninin
kardiyovasküler kaynaklı olduğu görüldü.

Long-Term Mortality of Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

Öz

Introduction:
This study sought to determine long-term all-cause mortality and cardiovascular
mortality in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF).

Patients
and Methods: The study included 352 patients (153 males,
199 females; mean age 62 years; range 34 to 82 years) who presented to our
clinic between 1995 and 2010 and were diagnosed with nonvalvular AF. The
follow-up ranged from 72 to 176 months (mean 110 months).

Results: The
causes or associated conditions of AF were hypertension (51.1%), coronary heart
disease (29.9%), heart failure (48.8%), diabetes mellitus (11.9%), and
pulmonary hypertension (9.9%). Seventy-two patients (21%) died during the
follow-up period. Cardiovascular death was noted in 30 patients (41.7%). Sudden
death was seen in six patients (8.3%). Death from stroke occurred in 20
patients (27.8%), and 16 patients (22.2%) died of other causes (malignancies,
accidents, infectious causes, etc.).

Conclusion:
The major cause of death was of cardiovascular
origin in patients with nonvalvular AF.
