Left Atrial Strain as Evaluated by Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Predicts Left Atrial Appendage Dysfunction in Chinese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

<div>Comparisons among the four models used to diagnose LAA dysfunction using the ROC curve. Only the CHA2DS2-VASc score showed the lowest AUC value. CHA2DS2-VASc score, LAEF, and PLAS combined showed the highest AUC value. PLAS demonstrated similar accuracy and discriminability with Model 3. Model 1, CHA2DS2-VASc score; Model 2, CHA2DS2-VASc score + LAEF; Model 3, CHA2DS2-VASc score + LAEF + PLAS; Model 4, PLAS.</div>
