Comparing left atrial indices by CMR in association with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and adverse clinical outcomes

Abstract Left atrial (LA) features are altered when diastolic dysfunction (DD) is present. The relations of LA features to the DD severity and to adverse outcomes remain unclear using CMR images. We sought to compare LA features including volumes, emptying fraction, and strains as predictors of left...
