Echocardiographic strain imaging and progression of atrial fibrillation in low-risk individuals
Our data suggest a potential non-linear association for GLS and LASr as a marker of diastolic function with higher predicted probability of AF progression at lower strain values. However, the test for non-linearity did not reach statistical significance after adjustment.
