Left atrial strain and outcome in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Left atrial (LA) function is impaired in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the association between LA longitudinal strain and heart failure (HF) events in patients with HFpEF is still unknown. We evaluated whether LA strain measurements would be useful to predict hospitalizations for worsening HF in this study. Methods This study included 121...
