Why the study?
Does left atrial ejection fraction (LAEF) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging predict adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure?
Does left atrial ejection fraction (LAEF) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging predict adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure?
Left atrial ejection fraction measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging serves as an independent prognostic marker for adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure.

LAEF by CMR may refine HF risk stratification; leaves open whether it alters management beyond existing measures.
Pellicori et al. (2014) studied this question.
