- Title
Can rhythm therapy cure valvular disease?
- Authors
Schirmer, Stephan H.; Bernat, Robert
- Abstract
Some studies have indicated that successful catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation with durable sinus rhythm may lead to improvement of tricuspid valve function in case of lesser tethering height (< 6 mm) [[5]]. A retrospective analysis on > 400 patients undergoing surgical AF ablation during mitral valve surgery confirmed AF recurrence to be associated with progression of TR and right remodeling TR [[5]]. This comment refers to the article available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s10840-022-01410-x Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disorder worldwide, with increasing prevalence.
