Atrial fibrillation first? Investigating rhythm control in de novo high-grade functional mitral regurgitation and atrial fibrillation
Rhythm control of AF significantly reduced the severity of FMR in most patients, eliminating the need for mitral valve (MV) intervention in these cases. The identified predictors of persistent high-grade FMR could contribute to refined risk assessment and assist in treatment decision-making, potentially supporting early referral for MV intervention in appropriate patients.
