Measurement of Left Atrial Pressure is a Good Predictor of Freedom From Atrial Fibrillation

Measurement of Left Atrial Pressure is a Good Predictor of Freedom From Atrial Fibrillation

Background: It is suggested that an elevated left atrial pressure (LAP) promotes ectopic beats emanating in the pulmonary veins (PVs) and that LAP might be a marker for structural remodeling. This study aimed to identify if the quantification of LAP correlates with structural changes of the LA and m...
