Post-STEMI LA remodeling was associated with concurrent LV remodeling, age >70, and larger infarcts; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Following STEMI, left atrial remodeling is characterized by decreased LA volumes and is significantly correlated with older age (>70 years) and larger infarct size.
Pascaud et al. (2023) studied this question. Left atrial remodeling after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction coincides with left ventricular remodeling and correlates with age older than 70 years and larger infarct size.
