Factor Information
Data ID 3731
Factor Patients who underwent palliation
Description Patients who underwent palliation or with residual (Resid) left ventricular (LV) valvular lesions had a significantly greater prevalence of AF.
Biomarker NA
Classification A12 (clinical factor - treatment)
Association
Application prognosis
Objective prevalence of AF (atrial fibrillation)
p Value <0.01
Conclusion Up to a third of patients with CHD and atrial tachycardia who require cardioversion may have AF, as well as the more prevalent IART. Patients with significant unrepaired lesions may be relatively more prone to AF. Both types of arrhythmias require intervention with increasing frequency over time.
