Differential atrial performance at rest and exercise in athletes:Potential trigger for developing atrial dysfunction?
(2016)
Highly trained athletes show an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias. Little is known about atrial volumes and function during exercise in this population. Our aim was to analyze atrial size and contractile function during ...
Atrial Function Assessed by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography Is a Good Predictor of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients
(Wiley & Sons, 2016)
ObjectiveAdvanced age is an independent predictor of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. We evaluated whether left atrial (LA) dysfunction assessed by strain ...
Left Atrial Function After Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2009)
Radiofirequency ablation of the pulmonary veins has been used to treat patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), and atrial damage after ablation is an issue of concern. To evaluate left atrial function shortly ...
Aging and post-operative atrial fibrillation: the role of atrial function

Left Atrial Dysfunction Is a Predictor of Postcoronary Artery Bypass Atrial Fibrillation: Association of Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate Assessed by Speckle Tracking
(WILEY, 2011)
Background: Even though atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), its etiology remains poorly understood. Several factors are linked to postoperative AF (POAF), ...
