Left atrial area index provides the best prediction of atrial fibrillation in ischemic stroke patients: results from the LAETITIA observational study

Background and aimsLeft atrial (LA) enlargement has been repeatedly shown to be associated with the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). In clinical practice, several parameters are available to determine LA enlargement: LA diameter index (LADI), LA area index (LAAI), or LA volume index (LAVI). We...
