Abstract:
Objective To study different effects of control heart rhythm by radiofrequency catheter ablation and control heart beat by drugs on quality of life in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Methods Sixty patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were divided into two groups,radiofrequency catheter ablation group and heart beat control group. Quality of life grades were calculated in each group according to SF - 36. Results Quality of life grades were significantly higher in radiofrequency catheter ablation group than heart beat control group. Conclusions Radiofrequency catheter ablation can improve quality of life than heart beat control therapy in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
