Prevalence and Coexistence of Other Atrial Arrhythmias With AF Before and After LVAD Implantation
| No AF | PAF | PeAF | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre‐LVAD, n (%) | 179 (54.1) | 129 (39) | 23 (6.9) |
| AFL, n (%)* | 12 (6.7) | 31 (24) | 3 (13) |
| AT, n (%) | 11 (6.1) | 11 (8.5) | 1 (4.3) |
| AVNRT, n (%) | 3 (1.7) | 1 (0.8) | 0 (0) |
| Post‐LVAD, n (%) | 132 (39.9) | 165 (49.8) | 34 (10.3) |
| AFL, n (%)* | 15 (11.4) | 56 (33.9) | 6 (17.6) |
| AT, n (%) | 21 (15.9) | 38 (23.0) | 5 (14.7) |
| AVNRT, n (%) | 5 (3.8) | 3 (1.8) | 0 (0.0) |
AF indicates atrial fibrillation; AFL, atrial flutter; AT, atrial tachycardia; AVNRT, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia; LVAD, left ventricular assist device; PAF, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; PeAF, persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation.
