Are age , atrial fibrillation , and structural heart disease the main determinants of left atrial fibrosis detected by delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in a general cardiology population?
Age, history of AF, and SHD are the most powerful predictors of atrial fibrosis, as detected by MRI, in a general cardiology population. Atrial fibrosis predominates in the posterior LA wall.
Impaired autonomic function is significantly associated with fatigue and impaired QOL in dialysis patients.
