Global Left Atrial Strain in the Prediction of Sinus Rhythm Maintenance after Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) strain is a sensitive measure of LA mechanics. However, its relationship with rhythm outcomes after catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is not well established. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether baseline LA global longitudinal strain (...
