Abstract
This study sought to examine the influence of heart failure treatment on left atrial (LA) appendage function in 10 patients with left ventricular dysfunction. After treatment of heart failure, LA appendage function markedly improved, less dependent on LA and left ventricular functions, which suggests that with altered loading conditions, LA appendage function changes chiefly through its intrinsic contractile property.Entities:
