Abstract:Background
Atrial electromechanical delay, assessed calculating the PA-TDI interval using tissue Doppler imaging, is a known and promising determinant for atrial fibrillation recurrence prediction after pulmonary vein isolation and electrical cardioversion.
Purpose
To determine the relationship between atrial electromechanical delay and the presence of atrial fibrillation.
Methods
We prospectively enrolled patients presen… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
