Incremental Prognosis by Left Atrial Functional Assessment: The Left Atrial Coupling Index in Patients With Floppy Mitral Valves

Incremental Prognosis by Left Atrial Functional Assessment: The Left Atrial Coupling Index in Patients With Floppy Mitral Valves

Background Emerging data suggest important prognostic value to left atrial (LA) characteristics, but the independent impact of LA function on outcome remains unsubstantiated. Thus, we aimed to define the incremental prognostic value of LA coupling index (LACI), coupling volumetric and mechanical LA...
