Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) negatively impacts patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is linked to higher rates of pacemaker implantation.
- A study analyzed 1723 TAVR patients, finding that those who switched from sinus rhythm (SR) to AF by discharge had significantly higher pacemaker rates at 30 days and 1 year.
- The reasons for pacemaker use varied, with AF patients more likely to need it for sick sinus syndrome rather than AV block, highlighting the different clinical challenges posed by each heart rhythm.
