ECG changes after percutaneous edge‐to‐edge mitral valve repair

Abstract

Mitral regurgitation (MR) has a severe impact on hemodynamics and induces severe structural changes in the left atrium. Atrial remodeling is known to alter excitability and conduction in the atrium facilitating atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. PMVR is a feasible and highly effective procedure to reduce MR in high‐risk patients, which are likely to suffer from atrial rhythm disturbances. So far, electroanatomical changes after PMVR have not been studied.
