Impact of obesity and epicardial fat on early left atrial dysfunction assessed by cardiac MRI strain analysis
Diastolic dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity in obese individuals. We aimed to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived left atrial (LA) strain to detect early diastolic dysfunctio...
