Why the study?
Does intra-left atrial mechanical delay detected by tissue Doppler echocardiography predict paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Does intra-left atrial mechanical delay detected by tissue Doppler echocardiography predict paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Intra-left atrial mechanical delay measured by tissue Doppler imaging may serve as an early, sensitive marker for predicting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
