Those with decreased LA strain (n=307) were older, had more atrial fibrillation, smaller MV area, elevated mean diastolic pressure gradient, and increased right ventricular systolic pressure than those with preserved LA strain (n=302). Over a median follow\u2010up of 6.1 (2.3\u201310.7) years after MV intervention, 7.7% (n=47) experienced the primary outcome, with significantly higher rates observed in individuals with decreased LA strain (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.001).
