Left atrial structural and mechanical remodelling in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

In patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), an association between left atrial (LA) dilatation and dysfunction is expected, but the degree of coexistence of the two abnormalities and their relative prognostic role is not known.
