ANATOMIC AND FUNCTIONAL ALTERATIONS OF THE LEFT ATRIUM IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE AND DEVELOPED ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Abstract
То assess the anatomic and functional peculiarities of the left atrium in patients with heart failure with atrial fibrillation developed in the course of the follow-up and preserved sinus rhythm, 84 patients aged 60-88 years were examined.
