Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is retrospectively defined after normalisation of left ...

In patients with mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation the pressure tracing shows a distinct rise at the onset of ventricular systole and reaches its peak or remains at a plateau in late systole.

A: Atrial mitral inflow ... HF guidelines place a special emphasis on the detection of subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and the timely identification of ...

In addition, echocardiographic variables, such left atrial enlargement, left ventricular wall thickness, and impaired left ventricular systolic dysfunction are also risk factors for developing the ...

LA active emptying volume and fraction were both higher in patients with hypertension. Conversely, peak systolic myocardial atrial strain was significantly reduced in patients with pathological LVH ...
