Consequently, the atrium fails to be empty and it therefore remains functionally in diastole. As regards pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation, we could find a reentry of atrial stimuli through multiple circuits that would find both refractory and excitable areas. This uncoordinated heart activity is called delirium cordis. The ventricle responds with frequent, irregular waves.
Although it remains under atrial control, and thus the QRS complexes are supraventricular, only a number of them ranging from 100 to 200 go through the ventricle. Atrial fibrillation doubles the total number of deaths from cardiovascular causes.
o más contracciones por minuto, lo que dificulta su vaciamiento y funcionalmente permanece en diástole.
En su patogenia se encontraría la reentrada de estímulos auriculares por múltiples circuitos que hallarían zonas refractarias y otras excitables. Esta incoordinada actividad cardíaca se llama delirium cordis. El ventrículo responde con ondas frecuentes e irregulares, aunque permanece bajo control auricular, por lo cual los complejos QRS son supraventriculares y solamente pasan al ventrículo un número variable entre 100 y 200. La fibrilación auricular incrementa al doble el total de las muertes por causa cardiovascular.
