Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. As of 2017, a functional EHRA (Evaluated Heart valves, Rheumatic or Artificial) categorization was proposed to replace the terms valvular and non-valvular AF. In our country, despite the incidence of rheumatic valve heart disease, studies on this new categorization are scarce Objective: to assess the clinical profile of patients (pts) with AF, using the EHRA categorization as a parameter. Methods: this is a prospective, observational and cross-sectional study with 475 pts with AF from a university institution. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were carried out, as well as the calculation of risk scores for embolism, bleeding and renal function. Statistical analysis was performed by non-parametric tests, in addition to the chi-square test. Results: the pts were divided into 3 groups, according to the EHRA categorization: EHRA 1, with 144 pts, with mitral stenosis or mechanical prosthesis; EHRA 2, with 46 pts with other valvular heart diseases; and EHRA 3, with 285 pts, without valvular heart disease. Mean ages were 51.5; 57.6 and 62.9 years, respectively (p
