It has been shown that transmitral A‐wave (TMAW) is affected in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), and decreased left atrial contractions cause a decrease in the TMAW velocity. The relationship between TMAW acceleration time (TMAW‐AccT) and PAF is unknown. In this study, the predictive value of TMAW‐AccT for PAF was investigated.
