Atrial arrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension are closely associated with clinical decompensation and poor clinical outcomes.
This review summarizes the pathogenesis, prognosis, and management of atrial arrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension, highlighting their association with clinical decompensation.
Atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, are common in patients with pulmonary hypertension and are closely associated with clinical decompensation and poor clinical outcomes. The mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis and subsequent clinical decompensation are reviewed. Practical implications and current evidence for the management of atrial arrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension are summarised.
Wanamaker et al. (Mon,) conducted a review in Pulmonary hypertension and atrial arrhythmias. Management of atrial arrhythmias was evaluated. Atrial arrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension are closely associated with clinical decompensation and poor clinical outcomes.
