Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage Remodeling Assessed by Echocardiography Predict Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation
The aim of this study is to evaluate left atrium and left atrial appendage remodeling using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) and investigate its predictive value for atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA).
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) remodeling using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) and investigate its predictive value for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA).
Whether left atrial volume index (LAVI) or resting left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient better identifies patients who develop AF is unresolved.

MAC and its severity were associated with impaired LA reservoir function and a higher non-invasive stiffness index, and the index did not discriminate MAC better than its simpler components, so these cross-sectional findings are hypothesis-generating.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) may be detected after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) even when it is not identified during the initial stroke evaluation. This study evaluated the association between left atrial strain (LAS) parameters measured by routine echocardiography and later‐detected AF after AIS.
