Abstract
Description of a clinical case. The article presents a clinical observation of a 77-year-old patient with newly diag-nosed Frederick’s syndrome, which is a combination of a permanent form of atrial fibrillation and complete atrioven-tricular block. An exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis was the reason for hospitalization of the patient. The patient had no complaints of bradycardia or syncope, but treatment of the underlying disease was difficult due to the development of acute kidney injury against the background of chronic kidney disease and uncompensated chronic heart failure.
The cause of the development of Frederick’s syndrome was pronounced myocardium remodeling due to diseases that make up the classic complex of metabolic syndrome – coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, type 2 dia-betes mellitus and obesity.
Conclusion. The analysis of a few domestic and foreign literature sources showed that the development of Frederick’s syndrome is associated with a worsening prognosis and the development of various complications, which is usually underestimated by attending physicians. Taking into account the difficulties of diagnosis and management of patients with this pathology, it is necessary to be wary of the development of Frederick’s syndrome, especially in comorbid elderly and senile patients. Timely medical correction and referral of the patient for surgical treatment will improve the prognosis and reduce mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.
