Assessment of short forms of recurrent atrial extra systoles by echocardiography with left atrial strain in ambulatory patients without organic cardiopathy
Abstract:Aim: To analyse the potential usefulness and clinical relevance of the assessment by echocardiography with left atrial strain, based on the myocardial atrial deformation curves with speckle-tracking velocity vector imaging (VVI), in the analysis of shortform recurrent atrial extra systoles in ambulatory patients not suffering from organic cardiopathy. Methods: We designed a descriptive, prospective, and observational study including 270 patients between the ages of 18 and 75 assessed during an outpatient cardi… Show more
