Abstract
- Left atrial (LA) size has been associated with adverse outcome in patients after acute myocardial infarction. However, data about the occurrence of late LA enlargement and changes in LA function during follow-up are scarce. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate changes in LA size and function during 1-year follow-up.
