Conversion to and maintenance of sinus rhythm do not yield a significant increase in stroke-volume in HFREF patients, whose heart works on the flat branch of Frank-Starling curve, thereby making the retrieval of the atrial mechanical contribution in this subset a substantially futile choice.Eur Heart J. 2019 Nov 21;40(44):3651-3652. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehz655. Eur Heart J. 2019. PMID: 31750524 No abstract available.
