Comparison of left atrial and left atrial appendage mechanics in the risk stratification of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Abstract Background Left atrial (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) dysfunction has been demonstrated to contribute to atrial fibrillation (AF)-related stroke. However, usefulness of LA and LAA mechanics has not been fully compared. We sought to investigate the association of LA and LAA mechanics w...
