Can we explore AF-pacemakers' relationship using clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with permanent pacemaker? (Echocardiography and subclinical AF in permanent pacemaker).

AF group compared to non AF group; had a highly significant increase in LAVI (40.65 ± 11.24 vs. 28.34 ± 6.07 ml/m 2 ), E/é (12.19 ± 0.83 vs. 6.3 ± 0.98) and LVSI (0.14 ± 0.01vs. 0.06 ± 0.01 ml −1 ), p < 0.001, and a highly significant decrease in posterior wall thickness in systole (PWs); (12 ± 1.7 vs. 13.6 ± 1.2 mm), DWS (0.28 ± 0.08 vs. 0.38 ± 0.10), EDV(128.64 ± 5.59 vs. 154.81 ± 11.99 ml), SVI (43.43 ± 3.88 vs. 59.61 ± 9.12 ml/m 2 ) and EF (57.78 ± 3.39 vs. 65.56 ± 6.1%), p < 0.001, Table 2 .
