Impact of obesity and epicardial fat on early left atrial dysfunction assessed by cardiac MRI strain analysis

BACKGROUND: Diastolic dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity in obese individuals. We aimed to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived left atrial (LA) strain to detect early diastolic dysfunction in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and to explore the associati...
