Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation is identified as an important risk factor for cerebral infarction, increasing the risk of cerebral infarction by 5 times. Cerebral infarction occurring in patients with atrial fibrillation is often more severe, with higher complication rates, mortality rates, and risk of severe disability. Objectives: 1). To survey on clinical and paraclinical characteristics in patients with cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation at Can Tho Central General Hospital in 2023-2024; 2). To evaluate the results of in-hospital treatment in patients with cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation at Can Tho Central General Hospital in 2023-2024. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 35 patients diagnosed with cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation treated at Can Tho Central General Hospital in 2023-2024. Results: Most patients were ≥ 70 years old and female accounted for 57.10%. Regarding clinical characteristics, the main symptoms included hemiplegia (74.3%) and language disorders (68.6%). Regarding paraclinical characteristics, middle cerebral artery damage accounted for 91.42%. The results of treatment according to the mRS scale at the time of discharge from the hospital, the poor recovery group was about twice higher than the good recovery group, 65.7% and 34.3% respectively. Conclusions: Cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation is common in female patients over 70 years old with a history of hypertension with typical symptoms of movement disorders and language disorders. Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction is common in patients with cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation. Patients with cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation often have poor outcomes after treatment according to the mRS scale.
