The Effect of RCA Morphology on Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Risk

Abstract

Objective: Right coronary artery (RCA) has two anatomical variations detected on coronary angiography, namely C-shaped and sigma shaped RCA. It is known that C shaped coronary artery is associated with more atherosclerotic disease, but there are no studies showing whether there is a difference between these variations in terms of susceptibility to atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to determine if there is an increased risk in one of these variations or not.
