ACCEL Lite: Associations of Cardiac Mechanics with Exercise Capacity: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

<div> <p>Studies have demonstrated dysfunction of the left atrium and right atrium were linked to lower ability to walk, and may be a precursor to heart failure. It may be useful to examine the function of the atria on echocardiography to understand one's risk of developing heart failure in the future.</p> <p>In this interview, Ravi B. Patel, MD, MSc and Roger S.
