2D speckle-tracking echocardiography assessment of left atrial and left ventricular mechanics: outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with hybrid ablation and left atrial appendage surgical closure

2D speckle-tracking echocardiography assessment of left atrial and left ventricular mechanics: outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with hybrid ablation and left atrial appendage surgical closure

Background and aimsHybrid atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a therapeutic option in non-paroxysmal AF. Our study examines cardiac mechanics changes after hybrid AF ablation plus epicardial closure of left atrial appendage (LAA).MethodsAll consecutive patients undergoing hybrid AF ablation at UZ B...
