Does left atrial volume predict abnormal exercise left ventricular filling pressure?
Exercise LVFP is a determinant of LA size. LA volume index seems to be helpful for predicting abnormal exercise LVFP. The potential use of LA remodelling to identify the patients benefitting most from exercise echocardiography should be investigated in larger studies.
Serum LRG is a novel biomarker for detecting MH during disease course in patients with UC and a surrogate marker of endoscopic inflammation in patients with normal CRP levels.
