Impaired left atrial reservoir and conduit strain in patients with atrial fibrillation and extensive left atrial fibrosis

Impaired left atrial reservoir and conduit strain in patients with atrial fibrillation and extensive left atrial fibrosis

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with profound structural and functional changes in the atria. In the present study, we investigated the association between left atrial (LA) phasic function and the extent of LA fibrosis using advanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)...
