Prognostic value of strain and strain rate in the prediction of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic literature review [PDF]
Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2016 Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common dysrhythmia postoperatively after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Myocardial strain and strain-rate imaging is used for the assessment of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) as a new ...

Left Atrial Strain: Crucial Cardiac Navigator in Practice
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023 Left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressure estimation is essential for characterization of heart failure. Despite extensive research and the availability of numerous metrics, the assessment of LV diastolic pressures both at rest and after exertion has been
