Hemodynamic, echocardiographic, and demographic profiles of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation: A multicenter cohort study
AFib in patients with CTEPH is related to comorbidities similar to those in the general population. The independent predictors of arrhythmia occurrence are PAWP and LA area, suggesting dominant role of left heart disease in AFib development. Atrial fibrillation does not remain an independent predictor of mortality in patients with CTEPH but is associated with increased NTproBNP serum levels.
