Left Atrial Expansion Index Predicts Left Ventricular Filling Pressure and Adverse Events in Acute Heart Failure With Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Highlights • We assessed the clinical impacts of left atrium (LA) expansion index in 141 admitted patients with severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. • A logarithmic correlation between LA expansion index and LV filling pressure exists in patients with severe LV systolic dysfunction, ei...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We assessed the clinical impacts of left atrium (LA) expansion index in 141 admitted patients with severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. • A logarithmic correlation between LA expansion index and LV filling pressure exists in patients with severe LV systolic dysfunction, either sinus rhythm or AF. • LA expansion index is an independent predictor of adverse events and is useful for grading the risk of late outcome.
