Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the quality of life (QoL) in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using the SF-36 Health Status Survey, comparing 97 patients with AF to a control group of 99 patients without AF.
  • While initial QoL scores showed no significant differences between groups, follow-ups at 6 and 12 months revealed notable declines in QoL for those with AF, especially in physical and mental health aspects.
  • Patients with paroxysmal AF who adhered well to oral anticoagulant therapy reported better physical activity and social functioning, highlighting the importance of treatment compliance in managing QoL.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the quality of life (QOL) of 634 patients with frequent extrasystolic arrhythmia using the SF-36 Health Status Survey, comparing them to a control group of 106 patients with fewer episodes.
  • Patients were divided into two subgroups based on the timing of their extrasystoles: "early" (experienced before peak blood flow) and "late" (after peak).
  • Results showed that the "early" subgroup had significantly lower physical and mental health scores compared to the control group, indicating that frequent "early" extrasystoles may predict poorer quality of life in patients with heart issues.
