Usefulness of Left Atrial Volume as an Independent Predictor of Development of Heart Failure in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Left atrial (LA) volume is known as a robust predictor of heart failure (HF) development in patients with sinus rhythm. However, among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the utility of LA volume for prediction of HF development has not been determined. The objective of this study was to investigate the utility of LA volume for prediction of HF development in patients with AF. Among adult patients who were referred for transthoracic...
