Changes over time in echocardiographic variables and atrial electromechanical intervals after ablation for atrial fibrillation

Introduction: Acute and mid-term effects of ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) on left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) function and the atrial electromechanical interval are controversial. Methods: Echocardiographic variables and the PA-TDI interval (time from ECG lead II P-wave onset to la...
