Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest supraventricular arrhythmia in adults. Timely AF diagnosis seems to ameliorate patients prognosis.

Purpose: To investigate the association between peak left atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) and new onset AF in the general population.

Objectives: We searched major electronic databases for articles assessing the relationship between PALS and incident AF.

Results: Eight studies (11,145 patients) were analysed. Lower levels of PALS were significantly associated with higher risk of incident AF (HR: 0.95; 95%CI: 0.92-0.97, I²: 83%). According to the diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis, PALS <33.4% presents 64% (95%CI: 46-79%) sensitivity and 69% (95%CI: 63-75%) specificity.

Conclusions: In a relatively healthy population, lower levels of PALS were significantly associated with incident AF. The overall diagnostic accuracy was moderate. Lower levels of PALS seem to justify an opportunistic - rather than a systematic-screening approach. These findings could allow more efficient utilisation of healthcare resources.

普通人群中峰值左心房纵应变和房颤的发生率：一项系统回顾和荟萃分析。

背景：房颤（AF）是成人最常见的室上性心律失常。及时诊断房颤可改善患者预后。目的：探讨普通人群左心房纵应变峰值（PALS）与新发房颤的关系。目的：我们检索了主要电子数据库中评估PALS与af之间关系的文章。结果：我们分析了8项研究（11,145例患者）。较低水平的PALS与较高的AF发生风险显著相关(HR: 0.95；95%ci: 0.92-0.97, i2: 83%)。根据诊断准确性荟萃分析，PALS结论：在相对健康的人群中，较低水平的PALS与AF事件显著相关。总体诊断准确性为中等。较低水平的pal似乎证明了机会主义筛查方法的合理性，而不是系统性筛查方法。这些发现可以更有效地利用医疗资源。
