Left ventricular longitudinal systolic dysfunction is associated with right atrial dyssynchrony in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Objective: We aimed in this study to assess the role of longitudinal left ventricular (LV) systolic function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in delayed intra- and interatrial conduction time. Methods: In 85 consecutive patients with HFpEF (age 60±11 years, ejection fraction...
