Population

1,918 predominantly female (72.3%) patients with rheumatic heart disease from a rural registry, with a mean age of 40.2 years.

Outcome

Atrial fibrillation is highly prevalent (23.9%) in patients with rheumatic heart disease and is significantly associated with older age, larger LA size, mitral stenosis severity, and adverse clinical outcomes including heart failure and thromboembolism.
