Assessment of left atrial remodeling using speckle tracking echocardiography after percutaneous atrial septal defect closure in adult patients
Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-known, long-term complication of atrial septal defect (ASD) in adults, even after device closure. Left atrial (LA) strain rate applied to the analysis of chamber function has been demonstrated to be an important predictor of LA reverse remodelin...
