“…in cases that might be associated with an elevation of the RA pressure. On the contrary, an elevation in the LA pressure alone, as in aortic valve disease, seldom leads to AF until the very late stage [Myler and Sanders, 1968]. The location of the sinus node on the wall of the RA is probably the factor that predetermines a closer relationship of this atrium to the appearance of AF.…”

The pulmonary wedge pressure, pulmonary artery and right atrium pressure of 197 patients with dominant mitral stenosis were correlated with the age of the patients and the rhythm of the heart. A positive relation was found between atrial fibrillation and age, atrial fibrillation and right atrial pressure, atrial fibrillation and pulmonary artery pressure, age and right atrial pressure and pulmonary artery wedge and pulmonary artery pressures. A positive relation between right atrial pressure and pulmonary artery or pulmonary artery wedge pressures was found only in the cases with atrial fibrillation. No statistically significant relation was found between atrial fibrillation and pulmonary artery wedge pressure, age and pulmonary artery wedge pressure or age and pulmonary artery pressure. The data suggest the possibility of a causal relationship between right atrial pressure and atrial fibrillation.

Summary:The noninvasive assessment of the severity of aortic stenosis is difficult. A recent description of systolic flutter of aortic valve leaflets as a screening test for severe aortic stenosis was applied to a group of patients who had undergone catheterization. As opposed to the previous report, we found this an inaccurate, nonspecific, and insensitive aid for the differentiation of significant versus nonsignificant aortic stenosis; and feel that its validity should be studied further before wide application.
