Key result
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was associated with advancing age, persistent AF, and a higher likelihood of moderate-severe AF symptoms (OR 6.368; 95% CI 1.797-22.568; P=0.004).
Observational (n=124)
Odds Ratio: 6.368 (95% CI 1.797–22.568)
p-value: p=0.004
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is common in patients with atrial fibrillation and is strongly correlated with advancing age, persistent AF, and greater symptom severity.

LVDD may link to greater AF symptom burden in ablation candidates; leaves open whether targeted evaluation or therapy improves outcomes.
Kosiuk et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Atrial fibrillation (n=124). Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction vs. Absence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was evaluated on Moderate-severe AF symptoms (OR 6.368, 95% CI 1.797-22.568, p=0.004). Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was associated with advancing age, persistent AF, and a higher likelihood of moderate-severe AF symptoms (OR 6.368; 95% CI 1.797-22.568; P=0.004).
