RA booster strain function was predictive of sinus AF. We propose that the assessment of right atrial (RA) rhythm maintenance for up to 1 year. and right ventricular function (RV) using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) could be Keywords Atrial fibrillation  Right atrial strain  Right valuable in predicting AF recurrence in patients with ventricular strain  Two-dimensional speckle tracking paroxysmal AF (PAF). echocardiography Methods Thirty patients with PAF were prospectively recruited from a dedicated AF clinic. Right atrial size, volume, and area and RV dimensions were analyzed along Introduction with RA and RV strain derived from
