Summary:

The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical status of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and to identify differences in the treatment of AF, conducted in the cardiology departments of multidisci-plinary teaching hospitals of the Saratov city. Materials and methods. A comparative retrospective analysis of 1041 pharmacoepidemiological solid history of patients with AF who were hospitalized in emergency, and in the planning department of cardiology of 2 multidisciplinary teaching hospitals of the Saratov city consecutively in a calendar year on the AF, recorded on an electrocardiogram. Results. Among all patients with AF, patients with DM accounted for 20.2%. Among them were women, they were younger, they developed fibrillation at a younger age, they differed more severe structural heart disease, among which was significantly greater with myocardial infarction, nearly all had symptoms of heart failure. Patients with DM performed less frequently cardioversion, and to monitor heart rate often preferred a combination of beta-blockers and digoxin. 100% of patients with DM had a higher risk of thromboembolic complications (91.9% without diabetes) in both groups, oral anticoagulants (OAC) prescribed often enough. Conclusion. DM was diagnosed in every fifth patient with AF, especially among women and patients with persistent AF and is associated with the presence of more severe organic heart disease compared with patients without DM. All patients on the background DM was a high risk of thromboembolic complications, i.e. OAC must be assigned in 100% of cases, but in the surveyed hospitals OAC were appointed only in 23% of cases.
