Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The research process developed was observational, descriptive, transversal. 52 medical records of patients with AF were reviewed in the Internal Medicine service of the General Hospital of Riobamba-Ecuador in the period from May 1, 2017 to April 25, 2018. The chosen medical records were grouped into two sets: the first consisting of patients with clinical manifestations of AF and with electrocardiographic diagnosis of this arrhythmia (n = 38) ; the second one integrated the asymptomatic or slightly symptomatic diagnosed by electrocardiogram (n = 14). The results obtained indicated that 73.08% of the patients were symptomatic. Those over 70 years of age predominated in the study. Arterial hypertension and heart failure were the main risk factors present in the study population. The chi-square statistical test allowed to establish the existence of a significant relationship, between the presence of risk factors and the appearance of the clinical manifestations corresponding to AF, when a p value <0.05 (0.042) was obtained.
