Long‐term survival in patients with LVAD. Kaplan–Meier analysis shows the impact of atrial arrhythmias on long‐term survival of patients with LVAD. As shown, survival of patients who had PAF and PeAF at baseline was significantly worse than patients without AF (A). Patients with AT showed significantly worse survival than patients with no AT (B). AF indicates atrial fibrillation; AT, atrial tachycardia; LVAD, left ventricular assist device; PAF, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; PeAF, persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation.
