 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Old cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation [Abstract] Objective To investigate the relationship between the elderly atrial fibrillation and cerebral infarction. Methods 670 cases of Lianyungang Beach nursing home patients with senile cerebral infarction were retrospectively analyzed clinical data, according to whether associated with atrial fibrillation were divided into two groups, two groups were compared clinical presentation, treatment and prognosis. Results of atrial fibrillation group compared with the non-atrial fibrillation, in the upper gastrointestinal bleeding, concurrent reactive hyperglycemia and mortality are significantly different, rapid-onset atrial fibrillation group, severe illness, deep level of consciousness. Conclusions Atrial fibrillation is an important risk factor for cerebral infarction in the elderly, and its unique clinical features and prognosis, should clinical attention.
