Key result
AF in CHD is linked to impaired hemodynamics, mitral regurgitation, and abnormal LV contraction.
Why the study?
Is atrial fibrillation a marker for abnormal left ventricular function in patients with coronary heart disease?
Observational (n=1,176)
Is atrial fibrillation a marker for abnormal left ventricular function in patients with coronary heart disease?
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
In patients with coronary heart disease, the presence of atrial fibrillation is a useful marker of extensive myocardial dysfunction.
Kramer et al. (1982) conducted an observational in Coronary heart disease (n=1,176). Atrial fibrillation vs. Sinus rhythm was evaluated on Impaired haemodynamic function, mitral regurgitation, and abnormalities of left ventricular contraction. Atrial fibrillation in patients with coronary heart disease correlated significantly with impaired haemodynamic function, mitral regurgitation, and abnormal left ventricular contraction.
