Association of the Ratio of Early Mitral Inflow Velocity to the Global Diastolic Strain Rate with a Rapid Renal Function Decline in Atrial Fibrillation.

The ratio of early mitral inflow velocity (E) to the global diastolic strain rate (E'sr) has been correlated with left ventricular filling pressure and predicts adverse cardiac outcomes in atrial fibrillation (AF). The relationship between the E/E'sr ratio and renal outcomes in AF has not...
