Fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular (AFib)<\/a> \u00e9 um ritmo card\u00edaco anormal caracterizado por um batimento card\u00edaco r\u00e1pido e irregular, denominado arritmia<\/a>. De acordo com a American Heart Association, a fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular n\u00e3o tratada duplica o risco de mortes relacionadas com o cora\u00e7\u00e3o e os doentes com fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular t\u00eam cinco vezes mais probabilidades de sofrer um acidente vascular cerebral do que os indiv\u00edduos com um ritmo card\u00edaco normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Como principal hospital card\u00edaco e vascular da regi\u00e3o, orgulhamo-nos de oferecer este procedimento inovador a pessoas com fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular h\u00e1 mais de oito anos\", afirmou Dr. Adam Saltzman<\/a>, Diretor M\u00e9dico do Programa de Doen\u00e7as Card\u00edacas Estruturais na Southcoast Health<\/a>. \"A fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular aumenta consideravelmente o risco de um doente sofrer um acidente vascular cerebral, uma das principais causas de morte e incapacidade. O VIGIA<\/a> O dispositivo atenua o risco de AVC de forma semelhante aos anticoagulantes\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O procedimento WATCHMAN proporciona uma op\u00e7\u00e3o de tratamento \u00fanico para doentes com fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular que \u00e9 uma alternativa permanente \u00e0 toma di\u00e1ria de anticoagulantes orais para o resto das suas vidas. O Charlton Memorial Hospital implementou pela primeira vez o dispositivo WATCHMAN da Boston Scientific para tratar pacientes com fibrila\u00e7\u00e3o atrial (A-Fib) em 24 de agosto de 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Este marco \u00e9 verdadeiramente um esfor\u00e7o de equipa entre os intervencionistas card\u00edacos estruturais, os cardiologistas de imagiologia e a equipa de procedimentos. Representa a dedica\u00e7\u00e3o da equipa ao tratamento desta arritmia comum e estou muito orgulhoso do programa l\u00edder na regi\u00e3o que constru\u00edmos aqui na Southcoast Health\", acrescentou Saltzman.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Este feito foi poss\u00edvel gra\u00e7as \u00e0 lideran\u00e7a m\u00e9dica do Dr. Adam Saltzman, juntamente com Dr. Ramin Davoudi<\/a>, Diretor M\u00e9dico de Eletrofisiologia, Dr. Nitesh Sood<\/a>Diretor do programa de bem-estar para a fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular da Southcoast Health, Dr. Chris Abadi<\/a>Diretor M\u00e9dico de Ecocardiografia e Imagiologia Avan\u00e7ada, Dr. Albert Lin<\/a>Diretor M\u00e9dico de Imagiologia Card\u00edaca Estrutural e Dr. Robert Vazquez<\/a>, Especialista em imagiologia card\u00edaca estrutural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular \u00e9 uma das arritmias card\u00edacas mais comuns e o CDC estima que 12,1 milh\u00f5es de pessoas nos Estados Unidos ter\u00e3o fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular em 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
