How long you can live with atrial fibrillation heart failure cannot be determined. Some patients can survive for a long time with active treatment, but embolic complications can occur, and in patients with severe disease, the survival time will be significantly shortened.
Atrial fibrillation episodes can occur rapid ventricular rate, resulting in decreased myocardial contractility and heart failure. Patients without serious organic heart disease, can get timely treatment, the patient’s heart failure symptoms can be quickly relieved, some patients can survive for a long time, and will not have a significant impact on the survival time.
However, some patients with atrial fibrillation are often complicated by serious underlying diseases, such as rheumatic heart disease, coronary heart disease, congenital heart disease, etc. Atrial fibrillation and underlying diseases can aggravate each other, and the emergence of severe heart failure will significantly shorten the survival time of the patient, and atrial fibrillation occurs in serious arterial embolism, which can lead to the death of the patient.
Patients with atrial fibrillation accompanied by heart failure should be treated formally under the guidance of physicians to prevent complications and strive to prolong the survival time of patients.
