Six studies involved coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery; one encompassed various cardiac procedures, and another focused solely on mitral valve surgery. Results Eight studies published between 2021 and 2023 with 3,245 patients were included. The pooled incidence of POAF was 23.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 18.7%–29.2%].

A fib is a well-established risk factor for ischemic strokes. Systemic anticoagulation (AC) is effective in reducing stroke risk in patients with A fib. Patients with documented STEMI, left ventricular thrombus, mechanical mitral or aortic valve replacement were excluded. 5,661 underwent percutaneous closure.

Barr’s death at 39 from sudden cardiac arrest was caused by mitral valve prolapse—a heart valve defect that can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood. In the past, heart surgeons corrected a faulty mitral valve by replacing it with an artificial one during open-heart surgery. It can, in some cases, lead to death.

He has no cardiovascular risk factors except smoking for 10 pack-years. For example, mid-anterolateral and mid-inferior segments generally harbor papillary muscles and infarction of these segments may result in acute mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle dysfunction or rupture. His medical exam is unremarkable.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects 2% to 3% of the general population and is typically benign. Echocardiography remains the first-line imaging tool for MVP diagnosis, enabling detailed assessment of leaflet morphology, mitral annular disjunction, and mitral regurgitation quantification.
