Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEchocardiographic predictors of atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
To determine if markers of diastolic dysfunction are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) development among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). ⋯ Diastolic parameters of left atrial function possibly are more important markers of AF risk than left atrial dilation in HFpEF.
