Characteristics of left atrial remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in comparison to patients without hypertrophy
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to remodeling characterized by changes in both size and shape of the left atrium (LA). Here we aimed to study the effect of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on the pattern of LA remodeling in AF-patients. HCM-patients (n = 23) undergoing AF ablation (2009–201...
