Association Between Left Atrial Enlargement and Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients with Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
Background: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with chronically elevated left ventricular filling pressures that promote left atrial (LA) remodeling and increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Because AF is frequently asymptomatic during its early stages, identifying echocardiographic ma...
