Increased left atrial stiffness in patients with atrial fibrillation detected by left atrial speckle tracking echocardio
Objective: This study was designed to determine the contribution of left atrial (LA) stiffness to atrial fibrillation (AF) progression by comparing AF patients with normal control subjects, and to evaluate whether LA mechanical function is related to the structural changes of LA. Background: Abnorma...
