Hi Josua,

I would refer you to DOI: 10.1161/01.CIR.82.3.792 and DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2016.02.004 with regard to atrial remodelling in AF patients and DOI: 10.1161/CIRCIMAGING.118.007696 as a good starting point for atrial remodelling in HFrEF.

Regards,

George

which may answer your question.

As an exploration of additional interactions between heart failure and AF beyond LA dilatation you might find this review interesting: Denham 2018, Calcium in the Pathophysiology of Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure, https://doi:10.3389/fphys.2018.01380

Highly nsensitive parameter ti pick up /predict LA dysfunction is by speckled Echocardiography-called global longitudinal strain,for LA its LA strain.I extensive use this assesment in all those cobnditions esponsible for AF and HFrEF.Changes can be picked up well before change in LA volume.

Satej Janorkar

Small data is available pertaining to the correlation between LA volume in AF and the factors like BSA, sex, BNP, Diabetes etc. Of course, LA volume is direct predictor of conversion to SR with cardioversion. Larger epidemiological data is lacking and would be interesting.
