Investigations into the mixed muscle–secretory phenotype of cardiomyocytes from the atrial
appendages of the heart led to the discovery that these cells produce, in a regulated …

Left atrial (LA) structure and function in heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) versus preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF) is only established in small studies. Therefore, we conducted a …

Aims Both left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) dysfunction and remodelling contribute to
adverse outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Danicamtiv is a …

Aims To investigate the role of left atrial volume index (LAVi) in patients with secondary
mitral regurgitation (SMR) undergoing transcatheter edge‐to‐edge mitral valve repair …

The left atrium (LA) plays a vital role in maintaining normal cardiac function. LA volume and
function have been utilised as important imaging biomarkers, with their prognostic value …

Background Heart failure (HF) hospitalization is a dominant contributor of morbidity and
healthcare expenditures in patients with systolic HF. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance …

Aims The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of atrial strain and strain rate
(SR) parameters derived from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking (FT) in …

Background: This prospective ANAFIE Registry substudy investigated the relationship
between the echocardiographic parameters of left atrial (LA) structure and function and …

Left atrial dysfunction is associated with exercise intolerance and poor prognosis in heart
failure (HF). The effects of exercise training on atrial function in patients with HF with mid …

Background We investigated whether repeatedly measured left atrial reservoir strain (LASr)
in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients provides incremental …
