OBJECTIVE: To show that echocardiographic left atrial enlargement (Echo-LAE) and
electrocardiographic left atrial abnormalities (ECG-LAA) may be probable new risk factors …

Background and Purpose—We evaluated the association between electrocardiographic left
atrial abnormality (ECG-LAA) and ischemic stroke, especially whether ECG-LAA provides …

Results: Electrocardiographic finding of PFTV,> 40msec mm was found to be associated
with stroke even after adjusting for stroke risk factors and for the presence of Echo-LAE …

Background Left atrial enlargement (LAE) was reported to be associated with ischemic
stroke and its recurrence. Limited data are available on the relationship of LAE and …

Abstract Background and Purpose The role of atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke (CS) is
well known. However, the usefulness of left atrial (LA) electrical and morphological …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of thromboembolism. Atrial cardiopathy,
defined as structural left atrial enlargement (LAE), has been proposed to be a unifying risk …

Background and Purpose—Emerging evidence suggests that atrial disease is associated
with vascular brain injury in the absence of atrial fibrillation. Methods—The Cardiovascular …

Objective: Left atrial (LA) dilatation and heart failure are independent risk factors for ischemic
stroke. The goal of this study is to evaluate the association between LA dilatation and …

Background Increased left atrial (LA) size has been proposed as a predictor of multiple
adverse cardiovascular events including stroke. LA dysfunction can occur in the absence of …

Background Although a number of studies have reported the role of an increased left atrial
(LA) size on stroke, limited data are collected about the relationship between LA …
