Abstract: Objective: To determine the prevalence of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) in a tertiary care center and to identify the clinical profile of chronic AF in hospitalized patients. Methods: All patients admitted to Mamata General Hospital in medicine/cardiology wards with chronic AF (persistent and permanent) during the period January 2012 to December 2012 were included into the study. The principal exclusion criteria were new onset AF and acute AF. Results: During the study period, 49 patients were admitted with chronic AF with an average of 45.44 years. A slight female dominance was seen with male: female ratio of 1:1.2. Half of the patients (51%) were below the age 50 years. The elderly age group comprised of only 16.3% of cases. The commonest presenting complaint was dyspnea followed by palpitation. Rheumatic valvular heart disease was seen more commonly in people below the age of 50 years whereas hypertension and ischemic heart disease after 50 years. Heart failure was the commonest condition associated with the chronic AF and was the cause of hospitalization in almost fifty percent of cases Conclusion: Chronic AF is still a cause of concern in India in people below the age of 50 years due to high prevalence of rheumatic fever inspite of advances in the medical field.

Over 40 Years

The first use of cryoablation in the treatment of arrhythmia has already been described over 40 years ago [1]. Since the introduction of cryoballoon in pulmonary veins isolation in atrial fibrillation treatment, the method has started to attract a lot of interest. Over 350,000 procedures around the word were carried out only by 2018 [2]. Recently, there have been several new publications on the results of second-generation cryoballoon ablation [2, 3, 4]. In view of technology changes, and to summarize years of experience in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, the first Cryousers conference was organized, and held in 2018 in Poland. During this meeting a survey was conducted, obtaining data on the practice of atrial fibrillation treatment in 38 Polish electrophysiological centers performing cryoablation of atrial fibrillation using both balloons, Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis MN, and radiofrequency point by point ablation. Around 3,745 cryoballoon procedures were performed in the surveyed centers during the year preceding the survey. The survey concerned practical issues related to the qualification and preparation of patients for the procedure, its course, and the results of pulmonary veins isolation in Poland.

Response Team

Cardiac arrhythmias are common in hospitalized patients, with their incidence increasing in older patients and those with comorbidities. Cardiac arrhythmias represent a trigger for approximately 10% of rapid response team (RRT) activations. Of those, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly observed. Other common cardiac arrhythmias in the in-hospital setting include supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardias. Members of the RRT should be skilled in the diagnosis and management of these common arrhythmias. This chapter presents an overview of cardiac arrhythmias that RRT members are likely to encounter, discussing their incidence and significance, as well as their immediate management.
