Long-term effect of atrial fibrillation on the evolution of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation.

Conclusions: The presence of longstanding AF is associated with a significant progression of MR/TR mainly due to atrial remodelling. Our data showed a beneficial effect of sustained rhythm control, either medically or by ablation, on MR/TR progression. PMID: 31403908 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
