INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is accompanied by pathophysiological changes that predispose to the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). This arrhythmia impacts negatively on the morbidity, mortality and quality of life of these patients. Our objective was to evaluate t...

Association between left atrial strain and left ventricular diastolic function in patients with acute coronary syndrome

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular diastolic function is an important prognostic marker in acute coronary syndrome. However, classifcation of the dysfunction grade using isolated echocardiographic parameters remains difcult. Therefore, it is necessary to combine multiple data in diagnostic algorithms. The purp...
