Advances in the Impact of the Assessment of Quality of Life and Treatment Strategies for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

心房颤动(房颤)是最常见的持续性心律失常，显著增加死亡、脑卒中等相关疾病风险，严重影响生活质量。生活质量又称为生命质量或生存质量，是一个多维度、抽象的概念，目前，常用于房颤患者的生活质量量表分为通用量表健康调查简表36、疾病特异性量表房颤生活质量量表18等。房颤治疗目标主要以卒中预防、症状控制为主，临床实践中，评估房颤患者治疗策略对生活质量的影响，有利于确立个体化治疗。本文现就对房颤患者生活质量评估及治疗策略的影响展开综述。Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation significantly increases the risk of death, stroke and other related diseases, and seriously affects the quality of life. Quality of life, also known as quality of existence or quality of survival, is a multi-dimensional and abstract concept. At present, the quality of life scales commonly used in patients with atrial fibrillation are divided into the General Health Questionnaire 36 (GHQ-36) and the Atrial Fibrillation Quality of Life Scale 18 (AF-QoL-18). The main goals of atrial fibrillation treatment are stroke prevention and symptom control. In clinical practice, evaluating the impact of treatment strategies on the quality of life of patients with atrial fibrillation is conducive to the establishment of individualized treatment. This article reviews the impact of the assessment of quality of life and treatment strategies for patients with atrial fibrillation.
