Description
Summary:The hemodynamic changes and increased risk of thromboembolic events caused by AF in patients with DCM increase their disability rate and mortality. [...]early prediction and intervention of AF in patients with DCM can effectively improve the prognosis and quality of life. Inclusion criteria were (1) left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd) >5.5 cm in male and LVEDd >5.0 cm in female, or LVEDd >117% (>2 standard deviation [SD] of the predicted value of 112% corrected for age and body surface area); (2) left ventricular fractional shortening 2 SD) and/or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 2 SD); (3) no AF was found in the previous medical records and electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Exclusion criteria were (1) patients with hypertensive heart disease, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, or ischemic heart disease; (2) children
