BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) appendage closure (LAAC) is effective in patients with atrial fibrillation who are not candidates for long-term anticoagulation. However, the impact of LAAC on LA function is unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of LAAC on atrial function. METHODS: This meta-analysis was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A search strategy was designed to utilize PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, and Google scholar for studies showing the effect of LAAC on the LA function from inception to November 20, 2021. The standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated from the means and standard deviations. RESULTS: Of 247 studies initially identified, 8 studi...
