Left atrial strain and mechanical dispersion as predictors of atrial fibrillation onset in patients with mild rheumatic mitral stenosis

A BSTRACT Objectives: Chronic left atrial (LA) pressure overload and rheumatic inflammation cause subclinical atrial remodeling even without severe valvular stenosis. This study intended to determine whether advanced atrial deformation parameters identify patients with increased...
