Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in heart failure. (2013, background): “An increasing LA pressure and volume is positively correlated with the degree and severity of diastolic dysfunction.(84,85) This increase in LA pressure and size creates a favorable substrate for the maintenance of AF by increasing dispersion of refractoriness and alterations in anisotropic and cond”
Progression of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction and the Risk of Heart Failure (2011, methodology): “Diastolic function was assessed by pulse-wave Doppler examination of mitral flow (before and during Valsalva maneuver), pulmonary venous flow, and Doppler imaging of the medial mitral annulus.(11,19,20) Diastolic dysfunction was graded on a 4-point ordinal scale: (1) normal; (2) mild diastolic dysfu”
How to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: the HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithm: a consensus recommendation from the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). (2019, background): “It is more accurate as a marker of chronic LA remodelling than either LA area or diameter and it correlates with other echocardiographic indices of LV diastolic function.(226) A LAVI of 29–34 mL/m(2) is considered as a minor criterion since it represents the upper limit in healthy subjects.”
