| Factor | Patients with residual (Resid) left ventricular (LV) valvular lesions |
| Description | Patients who underwent palliation or with residual (Resid) left ventricular (LV) valvular lesions had a significantly greater prevalence of AF. |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom) |

| 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. |
