Effects of Pulmonary Vein Isolation on Left Atrial Hemodynamic and Mechanical Function: Insights from Advanced and Emerging Echocardiographic Parameters in Responders and Non-Responders
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with progressive remodeling of the left atrium (LA). Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established rhythm-control strategy; however, its long-term impact on LA mechanical and hemodynamic function remains insufficiently defined. Objectives: Our objective was to asses...
