PROGNOSTIC IMPLICATION OF PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ON PHASE ANALYSIS OF RIGHT ATRIAL FUNCTION IN DEGENERATIVE MITRAL REGURGITATION (DMR)

Left atrial (LA) dilatation is associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with DMR. However, the relationship between AF and right atrial (RA) function is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of paroxysmal AF (PAF) on RA function in DMR patients
