Abstract:
Objective:To explore distinguishing value of serum aldosterone level for different types of atrial fibrilla-tion (AF) .Methods:A total of 153 AF patients were selected ,including 99 patients with paroxysmal AF (paroxys-mal AF group) and 54 patients with persistent AF (persistent AF group) .Serum aldosterone concentration was measured ,and its correlation with two types of AF was analyzed .Results:Compared with patients with paroxysmal AF ,there was significant rise in serum aldosterone level [ (234.3 ± 69.6) pg/ml vs .(302.7 ± 78.3) pg/ml , P<0.01] in patients with persistent AF .Correlation analysis indicated that aldosterone level was positively correlated with atrial diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.896 ,0.831 ,P<0.01 both) .Conclusion:Serum al-dosterone level is helpful to distinguishing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and persistent atrial fibrillation ,and posses-ses certain guiding significance for outcome .
