Abstract: When evaluating left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) according to current guidelines, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity is often not available. In the present study we investigate if left atrial (LA) reservoir strain may be used instead… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehy025
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) presents a five-fold increase of the risk for ischaemic stroke and 20–30% of ischaemic strokes appear to be directly associated with AF. Currently, the need for anticoagulation for nonvalvular AF is assessed… read more here.
