Abstract:Purpose: The purpose of our study was to
explore the relationship between EAT thickness and left atrial phasic
function in patient with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
Methods: 100 NVAF patients were enrolled, including 50 patients
with paroxysmal AF and 50 patients with persistent AF. Another 50
patients without AF in sinus rhythm were selected as the control group.
EAT thickness in front of the right ventricular free wall was measured
using transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) at end-systole, while l… Show more
