Association of Decreased Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate With Stroke in Chronic Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2011
The objective of this study was to investigate myocardial deformation of the left atrium (LA) assessed by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and its value for risk stratification for stroke.We recruited 66 consecutive patients with permanent AF who were referred to our echocardiography ...

Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate in Patients With Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2010
Background— Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive condition that begins with hemodynamic and/or structural changes in the left atrium (LA) and evolves through paroxysmal and persistent stages.

Left atrial strain

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2018
To summarize recent literature on the use of left atrial strain in the diagnosis and management of patients with heart failure.Left atrial dysfunction is a hallmark of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure, in particular, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

3D atrial strain for prediction of atrial fibrillation recurrence

European Heart Journal, 2022
Abstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common supraventricular arrhythmias. Treatment options apart from medication include interventional catheter-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, there is limited knowledge about factors predicting arrhythmia recurrence after

Predictive Value of Left Atrial Strain in Relation to Atrial Fibrillation Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

International Journal of Cardiology, 2022
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrythmia following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and can lead to stroke and other heart-related diseases. This study aimed to determine the prognostic value of left atrial (LA)

Use of Atrial Strain to Predict Atrial Fibrillation After Cerebral Ischemia.

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2018
This study sought to identify whether atrial strain could be used as an imaging biomarker to predict atrial fibrillation (AF).AF is found in up to 30% of cryptogenic cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), which themselves account for 30% to 40% of ischemic CVA.This observational study evaluated all patients who had an echocardiogram (transthoracic ...

Atrial strain is the main determinant of release of atrial natriuretic peptide

International Journal of Cardiology, 1990
We studied the response of atrial natriuretic peptide to the hemodynamic and renin-aldosterone variations occurring in four patients who developed cardiac tamponade, either occurring in idiopathic fashion in one or secondary to metastatic involvement of the pericardium in three.

Left atrial strain: A memory of the severity of atrial myocardial stress in atrial fibrillation

Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases
Left atrial (LA) strain is a simple marker of LA function. The aim of the study was to evaluate the determinants of atrial cardiomyopathy in AF.In this pilot study, we prospectively evaluated clinical, biological, metabolomic and echocardiographic parameters for 85 consecutive patients hospitalized for atrial fibrillation (AF) with restoration of sinus

Normal Ranges of Left Atrial Strain by Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2017
Background: Recent advances in the assessment of myocardial function have facilitated the direct measurement of atrial function using speckle-tracking echocardiography.

Peak atrial longitudinal strain represents atrial fibrillation burden in daily practice: clinical implication of routine left atrial strain measurements

Journal of Echocardiography, 2022
Usefulness of left atrial (LA) strain measurements using speckle tracking echocardiography has been reported in various clinical settings. However, clinical implication of routine LA strain measurements in daily practice remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical utility of routine LA strain measurements in daily practice.From ...
