Clinical, echocardiographic, and cardiac catheterization data were evaluated in 263 patients with mitral stenosis who were undergoing balloon commissurotomy to determine the predictors of atrial rhythm and its effect on functional status. Conversion from atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm at 6 months after the procedure occurred in 16 of 86 patients (19%) and was predicted by the duration of atrial fibrillation, baseline functional class, and antiarrhythmic therapy; patients who remained in atrial fibrillation had a poorer functional status compared with those in sinus rhythm despite similar procedural results.
