Left atrial strain predicts recurrence of atrial arrhythmias after catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation

INTRODUCTION: Success rates of catheter ablation (CA) of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) are very variable. Identifying patients in whom sinus rhythm maintenance cannot be achieved after CA is a critical issue. METHODS: 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography was performed before the first CA proce...
