Abstract The left atrium is an anatomical structure relevant to the maintenance of the physiological hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system. Atrial cardiomyopathy (aCMP), defined as any change in the structure, architecture, contractility or electrophysiology of the atria, is associated with adverse clinical implications, and responsible for atrial fibrillation and stroke. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with a predominance of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a unique clinical phenotype, characterized by mechanical dysfunction of the left atrium, congestive symptoms and […]
