Left atrial strain is associated with adverse cardiovascular events in patients with end‐stage renal disease: Findings from the Cardiac, Endothelial Function and Arterial Stiffness in ESRD (CERES) study

Abstract

We lack cardiovascular (CV) markers for patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), and left atrial (LA) strain has not been studied definitively in this population. We examined associations of LA reservoir, conduit, and booster strain with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among stable patients with ESRD on dialysis.
