Evaluation of Atrial Fibrillation Predictors in ECG After Mitral Valve Repair Surgery in Patients with Mitral Valve Prolapse.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) after mitral valve repair surgery and is associated with adverse cardiac outcomes. Early identification of patients at high risk for AF development after repair surgery is crucial for early treatment and follow-up of these patients. This study aimed to identify ECG predictors of AF in patients with MVP following mitral valve repair surgery. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, non-randomized study included 62 patients who underwent mitral valve repair for MVP. The patients' ECGs were analyzed preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-surgery to identify patients who developed AF. AF was diagnosed based on ECG findings or Holter monitoring. The P wa
