Effects of atrial fibrillation on left ventricular function and geometry in mitral stenosis

The American Journal of Cardiology
Jagdish C Mohan, R Arora

Abstract

This study shows that patients with mitral stenosis have depressed left ventricular ejection performance and spherical remodeling of the left ventricular cavity, which is more marked in those with atrial fibrillation. These changes have important clinical implications regarding treatment strategy in patients with mitral stenosis and chronic atrial fibrillation.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
