    The document discusses a study of patients with stable atrial fibrillation at a hospital in Indonesia. The study looked at risk factors, treatment therapies, and patient demographics. Common risk factors were congestive heart failure, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Most common treatments were digoxin, beta blockers, and calcium channel blockers.

    Background
    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to many other heartrelated complications..The treatment goals of AF start with a proper diagnosis through an in-depth
    examination from a physician based on the patients history, physical examination, ECG, and also
    risk factors. Rhythm control, rate control, prevention of thromboembolism, are recommended for
    therapy in AF based on its pathophysiology mechanisms. In what follows, we conclude some of
    these risk factors and the underlying mechanisms by which these conditions may contribute to the
    development of AF. These underlying factors also may alter the prognosis. Adequate treatment of
    reduction of these risk factors possibly may reduce the prevalence of AF and improve prognosis.

    Method
    A cross-sectional study was done from January May 2016 to 26 patients with stable atrial
    fibrillation at Koja General Hospital, Jakarta.

    Results

    Conclusion

    There were 26 patients included in the


    study, with mean age 59.79 13.22 and
    male : female ratio
    1: 1.17. CHF (80.8%)
    shows the biggest proportion as risk factor
    followed by hypertension (76.9%), coronary
    arterial disease (42.3%), valvular disease
    (7.7%). Most of patients (38.5%) are given
    digoxin followed by beta blockers (34.5%),
    ca-channel blockers (17.5%) and amiodarone
    (7.7%) as a first line therapy. 34.6% of
    patients gets simvastatin and 30.8% gets
    anticoagulant as additional therapy.

    Keywords

    Most patients are man and mostly aged


    above 50 years old. Many patients have
    CHF followed by hypertension and coronary
    arterial disease as the risk factor. Digoxin is
    the most used medicine followed by beta
    blockers. Some patients get simvastatin
    and anticoagulant as preventive therapy.
