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 ...
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), ...
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 ...
Assessment of diastolic function and atrial remodeling by MRI – validation and correlation with echocardiography and filling pressure
(WileyAmerican Physiological Society, 2018-09-05)
Atrial fibrosis can be estimated noninvasively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), but diastolic dysfunction is clinically assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and ...
