Answer

Atrial fibrillation (AF) can occur in the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

Pathophysiological link

Clinical evidence

Guidelines

In summary, LVH is associated with an increased risk of developing AF due to structural and electrical remodeling of the atria. Clinical evidence supports this association across various conditions characterized by LVH, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure with systolic dysfunction. Recognizing the link between LVH and AF is important for risk assessment and management in patients with cardiovascular disease.
