| Abstract |
To evaluate the possibility of left atrial (LA) remodeling using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in patients with interatrial block (IAB). We performed a cross-sectional study with three groups of patients: 56 without IAB, 21 with partial IAB (pIAB), and 22 with advanced IAB (aIAB). Transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) STE was performed and clinical and echocardiographic findings were analyzed. TTE showed higher LA volume/body surface area in the patients with IAB. With STE, the absolute value of strain rate during atrial booster pump function (SRa) and early reservoir period (SRs) decreased in the pIAB group and even more in the aIAB group, compared to the group without IAB. The independent variables were the echocardiographic measures of LA size and function. After adjusting for confounders, both multiple linear regression and multivariate multinomial regression showed good correlation with dependent variables: longer P-wave duration on electrocardiography and with the type of IAB, respectively. SRa (p < 0.001), SRs (p < 0.001), and maximal peak LA longitudinal strain in the reservoir period (p = 0.009) were independently associated with P-wave duration. SRa was also associated with the presence of pIAB (OR = 11.5; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.7-49.0; p = 0.001) and aIAB, (OR = 98.2; 95% CI: 16-120.4; p < 0.001) and SRs was associated with pIAB (OR: 0.03; CI: 0.003-0.29; p = 0.003) and with aIAB (OR: 0.008; CI: 0.001-0.12; p = 0.004). IAB correlates directly with structural remodeling and a decrease in the absolute value of LA SRa and SRs determined using STE. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 February 2018.
All research outputs
#14,376,243
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
#677
of 1,637 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#188,169
of 331,231 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
#13
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,637 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,231 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
