Prognostic Utility and Clinical Significance of Cardiac Mechanics in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Importance of Left Atrial Strain

BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) enlargement is associated with adverse events in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the role of LA mechanics (i.e., LA strain measures) in HFpEF has not been well studied. We hypothesized that in HFpEF, reduced (worse) LA strain is a key pat...
