Characterization of cardiac mechanics and incident atrial fibrillation in participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study

Characterization of cardiac mechanics and incident atrial fibrillation in participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study

BACKGROUND. Left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) remodeling are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). The prospective associations of impairment in cardiac mechanical function, as assessed by speckle-tracking echocardiography, with incident AF are less clear. METHODS. In the Cardiovascular...
