SD for LAVImax=17.6 mL/m2, SD for LAVImin=15.4 mL/m2, SD for LAEF=14.2%, and SD for LA strain=8.9%. Model 1 included age, sex, race, randomization strata, randomized treatment assignment, history of atrial fibrillation, heart rate, New York Heart Association class, history of stroke, creatinine, hematocrit, and left ventricular ejection fraction. E indicates peak early mitral inflow velocity; e′, peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity; GLS, global longitudinal strain; HF, heart failure; HR, hazard ratio; LA, left atrial; LAEF, LA emptying fraction; LAVImax, indexed maximal LA volume; LAVImin, indexed minimal LA volume; LV, left ventricular; and LVMI, LV mass index.
