Fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular (FA)<\/a> es un ritmo card\u00edaco anormal caracterizado por latidos r\u00e1pidos e irregulares, denominados arritmia<\/a>. Seg\u00fan la American Heart Association, la fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular no tratada duplica el riesgo de muerte relacionada con el coraz\u00f3n, y los pacientes con fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular tienen cinco veces m\u00e1s probabilidades de sufrir un ictus que las personas con un ritmo cardiaco normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Como principal hospital vascular y cardiaco de la regi\u00f3n, estamos orgullosos de llevar m\u00e1s de ocho a\u00f1os ofreciendo este innovador procedimiento a los enfermos de fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular\", ha declarado Dr. Adam Saltzman<\/a>Director M\u00e9dico de la Programa de cardiopat\u00edas estructurales de Southcoast Health<\/a>. \"La fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular aumenta enormemente el riesgo de ictus del paciente, una de las principales causas de muerte y discapacidad. El sitio VIGILANTE<\/a> mitiga el riesgo de ictus de forma similar a los anticoagulantes\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El procedimiento WATCHMAN ofrece a los pacientes con fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular una opci\u00f3n de tratamiento \u00fanica que constituye una alternativa permanente a la toma diaria de anticoagulantes orales durante el resto de sus vidas. El Charlton Memorial Hospital implant\u00f3 por primera vez el dispositivo WATCHMAN de Boston Scientific para tratar a pacientes con fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular el 24 de agosto de 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Este hito es un verdadero esfuerzo de equipo entre los intervencionistas estructurales, los cardi\u00f3logos especialistas en diagn\u00f3stico por imagen y el equipo de procedimientos. Representa la dedicaci\u00f3n del equipo al tratamiento de esta arritmia com\u00fan y estoy muy orgulloso del programa l\u00edder en la regi\u00f3n que hemos creado aqu\u00ed en Southcoast Health\", a\u00f1adi\u00f3 Saltzman.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este logro fue posible gracias al liderazgo m\u00e9dico del Dr. Adam Saltzman, junto con Dr. Ramin Davoudi<\/a>Director M\u00e9dico de Electrofisiolog\u00eda, Dr. Nitesh Sood<\/a>Directora del Programa de Bienestar para la Fibrilaci\u00f3n Auricular de Southcoast Health, Dr. Chris Abadi<\/a>Director M\u00e9dico de Ecocardiograf\u00eda e Imagen Avanzada, Dr. Albert Lin<\/a>Director M\u00e9dico de Imagen Card\u00edaca Estructural y Dr. Robert V\u00e1zquez<\/a>Especialista en imagen cardiaca estructural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular es una de las arritmias cardiacas m\u00e1s frecuentes y los CDC calculan que 12,1 millones de personas en Estados Unidos padecer\u00e1n fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular en 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Enhorabuena a este incre\u00edble equipo por alcanzar este impresionante hito!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
