The study identified advanced age (over 75), permanent AFib, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and higher right atrial pressure as independent determinants of severe TR. Permanent AFib ...

Some risk factors for stroke with AFib include: AFib may be persistent and last more than seven days. This typically means the heart is no longer able to control its rhythm as it normally should.
