Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common following the surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Aim of the research: To evaluate left atrial (LA) remodelling and fibrillation following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) versus SAVR. Methodology: This prospective cohort observational research was carried out on 60 cases with severe aortic stenosis (AS) diagnosed by conventional echocardiography and have sinus rhythm, 30 cases who are eligible for TAVI and 30 cases are eligible for SAVR. Results: P wave max, P wave min and P dispersion were significantly reduced in week 4 compared to the baseline in TAVI (P-value
