Left Atrial size and stiffness as predictor of prevalence and incidence of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Rheumatic mitral stenosis

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Stiff left atrial (LA) is independent of LA diameter
and associated with low LA compliance. We
investigated the physiological and clinical
implications of LA compliance among patients with
Rheumatic tight Mitral stenosis either in sinus rhythm
or in atrial fibrillation (AF).
