The growing epidemics of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, in addition to worsening
environmental factors such as air pollution, water scarcity, and climate change, have fueled …

Abstract Background Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) has been identified as an emerging risk factor
for adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, including heart failure. However, the connections …

Background Analysis of left atrial (LA) strain and left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI)
have prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases. However, the prognostic value of LA …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of left
atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) assessed by cardiac computed tomography (CT), to …

Background The left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) is a strong and independent
predictor of heart failure (HF) in individuals without clinical cardiovascular disease. Its …

Background Recently, a novel left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) has been
introduced providing prognostic value to predict cardiovascular events beyond common risk …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a commonly encountered cardiac arrhythmia
associated with morbidity and substantial healthcare costs. While patients with …

Atrial size and function have been recognized as markers of diastolic function, and diastolic
dysfunction has been identified as a predictor of adverse outcomes in repaired tetralogy of …

BACKGROUND: Sex hormones associated with both the left atrial (LA) and left ventricular
(LV) structures in women, but the association of menopause status with left atrioventricular …

Background Recent studies have described a novel left atrioventricular coupling index
(LACI), which had a better prognostic value in predicting cardiovascular events than …
