LEFT ATRIAL STRAIN AS A MARKER OF ATRIAL DYSFUNCTION IN PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
European Heart Journal SupplementsAbstract Background and Purpose Atrial fibrillation is a progressive condition characterized by structural, functional, and electrical remodeling of the left atrium (LA). Left atrial strain (LAS), assessed using speckle–tracking imaging, is a sensitive marker of atrial function. A reduction in LAS has

Can Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate Imaging Be Used to Assess Left Atrial Appendage Function?
Cardiology, 2012<b><i>Background:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of left atrial strain (S) and strain rate (SR) imaging in assessing left atrial appendage (LAA) function. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We studied 78 consecutive patients (35 females and 43 males; mean age 38 ± 15 years) referred for ...

Echocardiography, 2009
Background: We hypothesized that contraction of the LA wall could be documented by speckle tracking and could be applied for assessment of LA function. This study tried to identify the association between LA longitudinal strain (LAS) and strain rate (LASR) measured by speckle tracking with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Left Atrial Strain for Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Onset in Hypertensive Patients
High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2019We aimed to find new predictive parameters for atrial fibrillation (AF) onset in hypertensive patients using two-dimensional (2D) conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography of the left atrium (LA).One hundred and eight patients with essential hypertension (HTN) were prospectively enrolled, from which 67 patients had no other important ...

LEFT ATRIAL STRAIN IN THE ATRIAL FUNCTIONAL MITRAL REGURGITATION
Health SciencesThe article investigates the role of left atrial strain (LAS) and left atrial volume (LAV) in atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) among the patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim is to evaluate LAS, LAV in AFMR patients and compare it with a control group, explore differences across AF types, and identify contributing factors to ...

Left Atrial Strain Insights in Atrial Fibrillation and the Interplay with Metabolic Syndrome
Advances in TherapyUnderstanding the interplay between metabolic syndrome and left atrial (LA) function is crucial, especially in patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF). We evaluated the association between subclinical atrial function and metabolic syndrome in patients diagnosed with new-onset AF.A retrospective analysis was conducted on 220 patients ...
