The Clinical Importance of Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Device
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are common in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. However, the impact of FMR and AF on clinical outcomes is uncertain. The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of FMR and AF in patients with LVAD.
