Including rehabilitation of the heart, lungs and blood vessels using modern technology. With a team of doctors who have specific expertise. In addition, we focus on increasing network potential and developing innovative health services that respond to the needs of people in all target areas to have access to quality medical services thoroughly and equally.
In 2023, the Heart and Vascular Center has seen the importance of the group of patients with atrial fibrillation (Atrial Fibrillation) or AF because it is common both in foreign countries and in Thailand. which is a disease caused by arrhythmia of the left atrium that is frightening Most have no abnormal symptoms. But it is a major risk factor for acute ischemic stroke. Because of atrial fibrillation It causes blood clots in the left atrium of the heart. It is then sent to the left ventricle of the heart, which is responsible for sending blood to the body.
Therefore, if this blood clot becomes blocked in various organs, especially in the brain, it will cause the patient to have a cerebral ischemia. and the occurrence of various complications, including atrial fibrillation It also impairs and reduces the quality of life of patients with a variety of symptoms. by factors that cause atrial fibrillation It is often found in people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, snoring, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, and lifestyle behaviors that are risk factors such as drinking alcohol, smoking, being overweight, etc.
With atrial fibrillation, there are often no symptoms. causing most patients to be unconscious Very few people are aware of it because they have clear symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, and insufficient sleep. As for people who don’t know and haven’t filtered, they won’t know. You may become aware of it when you have a serious disease condition, such as paralysis, paralysis, or other complications. This will make treatment more difficult. However, atrial fibrillation can be detected with an electrocardiogram or EKG. People over 65 years of age are recommended to have it checked annually. including viewing heart rate data on a smartwatch If you are notified that you have AF, go see your doctor immediately. Currently, this tool is 80% reliable. Always measure your pressure with an automatic blood pressure monitor. which has a heart rate measurement feature as well
Treatment of atrial fibrillation There are many types of this condition, both temporary and temporary. Long-lasting and permanent types Doctors will consider different methods of treatment. Currently, there is drug treatment such as anti-blood clotting drugs, also known as Blood thinners medicine to reduce heart rate The administration of the drug will reduce the chance of paralysis, paralysis, and death. Which must be taken for the rest of one’s life and only a small percentage can stop taking the medicine. They are mostly used in groups that are permanent. There is also an innovation in the treatment of atrial fibrillation by means of electrocautery using radio waves that generate heat. (Radiofrequency Ablation) to reduce abnormal symptoms such as heart palpitations and fatigue. However, with heat ablation there is a slight risk of complications. Currently, there is development in using cold electrocautery of the heart. (Cryoablation), both of which are treatment methods that meet international standards. There is empirical evidence that it can reduce the symptoms of patients with atrial fibrillation. Can restore the contraction of the heart in patients with chronic heart failure caused by atrial fibrillation. It can also reduce the death rate in some groups of patients.
However, the use of hot or cold electrocautery techniques must be at the discretion of the treating physician. by the Heart and Vascular Center Chulabhorn Hospital Saw the importance of treating patients with atrial fibrillation. Therefore, we have developed the potential to provide services with treatment methods that are equal to the international level.
