Progress in diagnosis and treatment of high altitude heart disease complicated with atrial fibrillation
China is the world's largest plateau country,with more than 50%of the land at an altitude of>1500m and 80 million plateau residents.The particularity of high altitude heart disease leads to the frequent occurrence of high altitude heart disease and atrial fibrillation.The causes and prevalence of the two diseases are significantly more than of non-plateau population,causing heart failure and ischemic stroke,which seriously threaten the lives of patients.It is of great significance for the development of the western region and the revitalization of the countryside to make full use of the valuable resources of high altitude acclimatization-adaptation research to explore the epidemiological characteristics,etiology,pathogenesis,clinical manifestations and prevention methods of high altitude heart disease complicated with atrial fibrillation.
