Left atrial function measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with heart failure: clinical associations and prognostic value

Structured PICO

Does left atrial ejection fraction (LAEF) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging predict adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure?

Population

Patients with heart failure (HF)

Intervention

Left atrial ejection fraction (LAEF) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging

Outcome

Adverse outcome

Left atrial ejection fraction measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging serves as an independent prognostic marker for adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure.

Abstract

In patients with HF, LAEF predicts adverse outcome independently of other measures of cardiac dysfunction.
