Why the study?
Do left atrial substrate properties correlate with left atrial mechanical function in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Do left atrial substrate properties correlate with left atrial mechanical function in patients with atrial fibrillation?
In patients with atrial fibrillation, the extent of left atrial low voltage zones correlates significantly with impaired left atrial mechanical function, providing insight into electromechanical remodeling.
