Determinants and Prognosis of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Aortic Stenosis

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently encountered in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and its incidence also increases with age. In the general population, AF is known to increase cardiovascular risk. We sought to investigate the prognostic importance of AF associated with AS in the context of ro...

Zusammenfassung:	Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently encountered in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and its incidence also increases with age. In the general population, AF is known to increase cardiovascular risk. We sought to investigate the prognostic importance of AF associated with AS in the context of routine clinical practice. This analysis was based on 809 patients (75 ± 12 years) diagnosed with AS (aortic valve area
