Whether discordant recovery between LV and LA function carries distinct prognostic implications in patients treated with ARNI-based therapy remains unknown.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From the multicentre STRATS-HF-ARNI registry, 1182 patients with HFrEF who underwent serial echocardiography at baseline and 1-year follow-up were included. Patients were classified according to the change in LVGLS and LASr at 1 year: Group A, concordant recovery (57.4%); Group B, discordant atrial non-recovery (11.2%); Group C, discordant ventricular non-recovery (15.6%); and Group D, concordant non-recovery (16.0%). Outcomes included all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and HF hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite achieving LV functional improvement, Group B exhibited persistent LASr deterioration, accompanied by less favourable hemodynamic trajectories than Group A. On multivariable Cox regression, Group B had significantly higher risks of all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 3.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.60\u20137.79] and cardiovascular mortality (aHR 5.68, 95% CI 1.91\u201316.92), comparable to Group D. Group C demonstrated higher HF hospitalization risk (aHR 2.25, 95% CI 1.31\u20133.86). The adverse prognostic impact of discordant atrial non-recovery was consistently observed across subgroups stratified by baseline LVGLS and LASr levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In HFrEF patients treated with ARNI-based therapy, persistent LA dysfunction despite LV functional improvement identifies a high-risk phenotype comparable to concordant non-recovery.
