Does left atrial enlargement predict the risk of stroke and death?
Men and women (specific demographics and sample size not reported in the provided text)
Left atrial (LA) enlargement (evaluated as a risk factor/exposure)
Stroke and deathhard clinical
Left atrial enlargement is a significant predictor of stroke in men and death in both sexes, highlighting its prognostic value beyond left ventricular mass.
After multivariable adjustment, LA enlargement remained a significant predictor of stroke in men and death in both sexes. The relation of LA enlargement to stroke and death appears to be partially mediated by LV mass.
