Abstract

Background and Aim- Left atrial enlargement predicts incident atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is still unknown how well LAS can predict incident AF in volunteers drawn from the general community. Our goal was to find out if LAS might be used to the general population to forecast AF and ischemic stroke. Methods-It was a longitudinal cohort study which included participants examined for cardiovascular disease and risk factors. From January 2022 to December 2022, the subjects received an extensive echocardiographic assessment. Health status and other risk variables had no bearing on whether a participant got an echocardiogram. All individuals provided written informed consent before to the examination. A health assessment involving an echocardiogram was performed on all 1200 participants. Participants who had paroxysmal, chronic, or permanent AF in the past or who were already experiencing AF at the time of study enrollment were not included. Results- 400 participants underwent a health examination. As per multivariable model participants over 65 exhibited considerably lower LAS levels than participants under 65. A decline in LAS reservoir function has already been shown to be one of the first alterations brought on by regular aging. Conclusion- LAS provides more predictive and prognostic information than LAVI for predicting ischemic stroke and AF in the general population.
