Popis: ObjectiveTo determine whether different changes of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) after surgeries have an impact on the long-term outcomes in patients with rheumatic and degenerative mitral valve (MV) disease and atrial fibrillation.MethodsBetween 2004 and 2016, 1,188 patients with rheumatic and degenerative MV disease undergoing MV and Cox-Maze procedure were identified. Clinic outcomes, as well as rhythm state and echocardiography indices in long-term follow-up were recorded. Patients were grouped by the changes of PASP (persistently normal, persistently increased, increased, and decreased) from preoperative estimation to follow-up.ResultsA complete echocardiography was performed at baseline and after 5 years. During follow-up, free of death and atrial fibrillation (AF) off antiarrhythmic drugs was 90 and 61%, 78 and 41% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Survival rate was higher in patients with persistently normal and became worse in patients with persistently increased and increased PASP (log-rank 166.0, P < 0.0001). Moreover, the patients with persistently normal PASP had a lowest risk of recurrent AF (SHR: 0817; CI: 0.765–0.872; P < 0.0001) after considering death as a competing risk. A persistently normal PASP at follow-up and degenerative MV disease were associated with improved survival and sinus rhythm (SR) maintenance at multivariable Cox regression analysis (P < 0.05).ConclusionPatients with degenerative MV disease or have persistently normal PASP during follow-up have better survival and SR maintenance rate than patients with either rheumatic MV disease or persistently abnormal PASP.
