This review evaluated the predictors of atrial fibrillation development in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
What are the predictors of atrial fibrillation development in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Identifying predictors of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may help prevent embolic complications and clinical deterioration.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiovascular disease that predisposes individuals to the development of arrhythmias. The most common sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF). Compared with the general population, patients with HCM are more prone to the development of AF. To avoid embolic complications and the clinical deterioration caused by the development of AF in HCM, identifying patients with a tendency toward AF might affect the management of HCM. In this review, we evaluated the predictors of AF development in patients with HCM.
Tülüce et al. (Sat,) conducted a review in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Predictors of atrial fibrillation was evaluated on Atrial fibrillation development. This review evaluated the predictors of atrial fibrillation development in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
