Going beyond classic echo in aortic stenosis: left atrial mechanics, a new marker of severity
Abstract Background There is limited information regarding left atrial (LA) mechanics in aortic valve stenosis (AS). We assessed LA mechanics in AS through speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) according to severity and prognosis. Methods We included 102 patients diagnosed with severe AS (sAS) and...
