Iatrogenic Atrial Dysfunction After Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion: A Proposed Post-Procedural Atrial Phenotype

Key Result

Prophylactic left atrial appendage exclusion is proposed to cause a distinct post-procedural atrial phenotype characterized by iatrogenic atrial dysfunction.

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the occurrence of atrial dysfunction following prophylactic exclusion of the left atrial appendage.
• Analyzed post-procedural outcomes related to left atrial appendage exclusion
• Proposed a new phenotype for evaluating atrial function post-procedure
• Identification of specific atrial dysfunction patterns after the intervention
• Highlighting potential implications for patient management and monitoring
