Why the study?
Does optimal timing of left atrial contraction improve left ventricular output in patients with mitral stenosis and sinus rhythm?
Does optimal timing of left atrial contraction improve left ventricular output in patients with mitral stenosis and sinus rhythm?
Optimal timing of left atrial contraction significantly improves left ventricular output and diastolic flow in patients with mitral stenosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Optimal atrial timing may boost LV output in mitral stenosis; hypothesis-generating for pacing strategies in sinus rhythm.
Heidenreich et al. (1969) studied this question.
