TL;DR

Whether left atrial volume index (LAVI) or resting left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient better identifies patients who develop AF is unresolved.

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Whether left atrial volume index (LAVI) or resting left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient better identifies patients who develop AF is unresolved.

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).

Left Atrial Strain for Risk Stratification of Later‐Detected Atrial Fibrillation After Acute Ischemic Stroke

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.

Serial Echocardiographic Changes in Left Ventricular Remodeling and Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation During Medical Therapy and After Coronary Revascularization: A Contemporary Cohort Study

Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) reflects left ventricular (LV) remodeling, but its within‐patient trajectory during sequential medical therapy and coronary revascularization remains incompletely characterized.

Serial Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Associations With Ischemic Heart Disease and Left Ventricular End‐Diastolic Diameter

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) varies among patients with severe aortic stenosis and reduced LVEF. We characterized serial changes in LVEF and examined their associations with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and baseline left ventricular end‐diastoli...
