Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the relationship between arrhythmias and anxiety, and to evaluate the effect of anti-anxiety treatment in patients with arrhythmias while given conventional treatment.
Methods:From February 2015 to February 2017, 111 patients with arrhythmia in the Fourth Hospital of Handan were selected in the study, and they were divided into treatment group(n=62) and control group(n=49) according to the admission to single and double wards.The control group was treated with conventional anti-arrhythmias drugs, while the treatment group was treated with low-dose of anti-anxiety drugs and conventional anti-arrhythmias drugs.The therapeutic effects, symptoms improvement time and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
Results:The effective rate in the treatment group was 96.8%(60/62), which in the control group was 77.6%(38/49), the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (χ2=9.78, P<0.05). The time of symptoms improvement significantly was (4.7±1.1)d in the treatment group, which in the control group was (6.9±1.3)d, there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(t=7.33, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in side effect between the two groups(P>0.05).
Conclusion:Arrhythmia has a certain relationship with anxiety.Anti-anxiety combined with anti-arrhythmic treatment can improve the curative effect of patients with arrhythmia and shorten the time when symptoms begin to improve.
