The role of left atrio-ventricular coupling index and left atrial ejection fraction in predicting onset of atrial fibrillation and adverse cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
In patients with HCM, both LACI and LAEF were significantly associated with the occurrence of AF over a 4-year period, demonstrating higher sensitivity and specificity compared to other parameters. A LACI > 60% was also found to be associated with cardiovascular death or heart transplant in this population.
