Relation of Echocardiographic Markers of Left Atrial Fibrosis to Atrial Fibrillation Burden
Abstract
In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), left atrial (LA) fibrosis is a major determinant of the progression to, and burden of AF. LA reservoir strain and total atrial conduction time (PA-TDI) reflect LA fibrotic content. We aimed to investigate the relation between LA reservoir strain and PA-TDI in AF patients and control subjects. Six-hundred two patients (mean age 56 years, 53% men) with first episode of AF and 342 controls (mean age 64...
