Introduction: Left atrial (LA) size and function are associated with outcome after myocardial infarction (MI). In this study we aimed to assess the impact of LA function as a predictor of exercise capacity through speckle tracking echocardiography. Methods: A total of 94 patients (mean age 54.8±11.0...
