Left atrial imaging and detailed knowledge of its pathophysiology, especially in the context
of heart failure, have become an increasingly important clinical and research focus. This …

The amount of adipose tissue that accumulates around the atria is associated with the risk,
persistence, and severity of atrial fibrillation (AF). A strong body of clinical and experimental …

Both left atrial and left ventricular functional parameters influence the prognosis of patients
with cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of a novel …

Background—Early detection of structural changes in left atrium (LA) before atrial fibrillation
(AF) development could be helpful in identification of those at higher risk for AF. Using …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is associated with adverse outcomes in HCM patients. Although …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the association of baseline left atrial (LA) phasic
function measured with cardia magnetic resonance (CMR) and incident ischemic …

Objectives: This study hypothesized that paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) reflects the
presence of a more severe cardiac hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) phenotype …

Background The role of the dysfunction of left atrium in the occurrence and development of
cardiovascular disease has been gradually recognized. We aim to compare the impact on …

Background—The association of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) with liver fibrosis is poorly
understood. We aim to assess the association of liver fibrosis by T1-mapping magnetic …

Reference values on atrial and ventricular strain from cardiovascular magnetic resonance
(CMR) are essential in identifying patients with impaired atrial and ventricular function …
