Highlights
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in humans
The severity of AF is related to the risk of thromboembolism (TE) and the risk of heart failure which is a function of the underlying cardiac disease [2]
The absence of an earlier study on AF before 50 years in Guinea, the multiplicity of etiologies motivated the present work with the objectives of determining the extent of AF before 50 years of age and identifying the most common etiology
Summary
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in humans. Al though it mainly affects the elderly, it can be present in young people. One of the first explanations that come to mind when trying to elucidate the reason for the increase in the number of detected cases of FA it results from the frequent discretion of the symptoms of this arrhythmia [4] It is observed, that FA produces typical symptoms only in 2/3 of the cases; in others, it remains clinically silent, or is accompanied by atypical and unclassifiable symptoms [5]. Management includes the search for underlying heart disease or curable cause, and aims to: Prevent thromboembolic risk, restore and maintain sinus rhythm. If the latter option is not possible or indicated, control of ventricular rate to suppress symptoms and limit hemodynamic repercussions. The absence of an earlier study on AF before 50 years in Guinea, the multiplicity of etiologies motivated the present work with the objectives of determining the extent of AF before 50 years of age and identifying the most common etiology
