Arterial stiffness and left ventricular performance in elderly patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Background The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and arterial stiffness (AS) increases with age. Aims To evaluate if AS is correlated to longitudinal strain (LS), a marker of left ventricular (LV) function, in elderly AF patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF) undergoing external cardiov...
