Aims Left atrial (LA) diameter is a predictor of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following
radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA). However, LA volume (LAV) is more accurate in …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with impaired functional capacity and quality of life and
significant morbidity and mortality. The current management approach fails to maintain …

Background—Increased left atrial diameter (LAD) is associated with elevated risk of atrial
fibrillation (AF) and cardiovascular disease. Information is limited regarding the short-or long …

BACKGROUND: The early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardioversion and the
need for frequent cardioversions to maintain sinus rhythm are important clinical features of …

Atrial fibrillation, the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice, is
associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Its incidence and prevalence are …

Objectives: To determine whether the biplane area‐length method can be used for the
evaluation of left atrial volumes and ejection fraction with cardiovascular magnetic …

Background: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), a common arrhythmia, is caused by the
fractionated and nonhomo‐geneous propagation of sinus impulse. Hypothesis: This study …

Echocardiography has emerged as a fundamental tool in the evaluation of patients with
atrial fibrillation (AF). Transthoracic echocardiography remains a primary tool for the …

Background Although atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke, its relationship with
atrial remodelling has not yet been studied. We hypothesized that the degree of …

Objectives Left atrial size has shown prognostic importance in a variety of cardiac
conditions. Diameters, area, and volume derived from M-mode and two-dimensional (2D) …
