Effect of mitral regurgitation on stroke risk in patients with non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation
2022, Archives of Cardiovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :We can distinguish two scenarios: (1) patients with rheumatic valve disease and AF and (2) patients with non-rheumatic AF. In the first case, several studies have demonstrated a significant reduction in the formation of atrial thrombus or systemic embolism [4–7]. However, in patients without rheumatic valve disease, some studies have pointed to a reduction in the formation of atrial thrombus and systemic embolism [8–14] and other studies have shown neutral results [15–18].

2018, Journal of Cardiology CasesCitation Excerpt :Patients with atrial fibrillation and mitral valve disease have an increased risk of a thromboembolic event. In these patients especially in combination with severely impaired left ventricular function a high graded MR is associated with antithrombotic properties [5]. Some cases with post-interventional thrombus formation in the LA and LV have been reported [2,3,6,7].
Acute left atrial spontaneous echocardiographic contrast and suspicious thrombus formation following mitral regurgitation reduction with the mitraclip system
2014, JACC: Cardiovascular InterventionsRelation of the severity of mitral regurgitation to thromboembolic risk in patients with atrial fibrillation
2011, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Recent guidelines for the management of patients with AF recommend that anticoagulation treatment should be tailored individually according to comorbidities [2]. Although several studies have demonstrated lower prevalence of embolic events in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR), [5–10] others have not [11–13]. It remains unclear, therefore, whether MR can reduce embolic events in AF.
