Blood pressure levels, left ventricular mass and function are correlated with left atrial volume in mild to moderate hypertensive patients

Arterial hypertension is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), and leads to a pronounced increase in morbidity and mortality. Left atrial volume (LAV) is an important prognostic marker in the older populations. The aim of our study was to identify the clinical and echocardio...
