The degree of left atrial structural remodeling impacts left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with atrial fibrillation

The degree of left atrial structural remodeling impacts left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with atrial fibrillation

The extent of left atrial (LA) wall structural remodeling (fibrosis) detected by late gadolinium enhancementmagnetic resonance imaging (LGE-MRI) is correlated with advanced atrial fibrillation (AF). The concomitant occurrence of AF and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is not uncommon. We studied th...
