Prevalence, risk determinants and consequences of atrial fibrillation in rheumatic heart disease: 6 years hospital based-Himachal Pradesh- Rheumatic Fever/Rheumatic Heart Disease (HP-RF/RHD) Registry

Abstract: ObjectiveTo report the prevalence, risk factors and consequences of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients of rheumatic heart disease (RHD).MethodsThe Himachal Pradesh- Rheumatic Fever/Rheumatic Heart Disease (HP-RF/RHD) Registry database of 1918 patients was analyzed. AF was diagnosed with 12-lead ECG recording at entry in to the registry. The association of AF with nature and severity of valvular dysfunction was analyzed, adjusted for age, left atrial (LA) dimension and pulmonary arterial hypertension using mu… Show more

“…Similar results are also reported from a study in India which showed that mitral stenosis patients were dominated with those of severe degree. 9 However, this study contradicts a study in Pakistan which showed patients with mitral stenosis were dominated with those of moderate severity (37.6%), and a study in Nepal which was dominated by those of mild severity (40%). 10,11 Disease severity of mitral stenosis is affected by several factors including educational background, recurrent beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection, genetics, and income per capita.…”

“…Thus, the estimation of the burden of AF and factors associated with AF is important for its prevention and control. Various studies have reported the prevalence of AF in patients with RHD which ranges from 13.9% to 43 % [3,4,5,6] . In our study, we observed a significant burden of AF (36.3%) in patients with RHD.…”
