“…The LAVI-to-LASI_v ratio was the most highly correlated shared LA parameter for running (|rho| = 0.403), push-up (rho = 0.335), and sit-up (rho = 0.352) performance. The LAVI-to-mitral E/e′ ratio was the most highly correlated, independent, and unique LA parameter for running (|rho| = 0.457) performance.ConclusionsThe LAVI-to-LASI_v ratio, comprising LA size and stiffness information, was the best correlate across exercise types, while the LAVI-to-mitral E/e′ ratio, comprising LA size and pressure information, was the best correlate of an endurance exercise, i.e., 3-km running performance.…”
