Association of Echocardiographic Measures of Left Atrial Function and Size With Incident Dementia.
Importance Atrial myopathy-characterized by alterations in left atrial (LA) function and size-is associated with ischemic stroke, independent of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Right atrial function and fibrosis in relation to successful atrial fibrillation ablation
Aims Bi-atrial remodelling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is rarely assessed and data on the presence of right atrial (RA) fibrosis, the relationship between RA and left atrial (LA) fibrosis, and possible association of RA remodelling with AF ...
