Does Left Atrioventricular Coupling Index (LACI) predict incident heart failure in a multi-ethnic population?
Left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) and its change over time provide incremental prognostic value for predicting incident heart failure beyond traditional risk factors.
In a multi-ethnic population, atrioventricular coupling (LACI), and coupling change (ΔLACI) are independently associated with incident HF. Both have incremental prognostic value for predicting HF events over traditional HF risk factors.
