Left atrial global strain supports left atrial end-diastolic volume as a measure of left atrial function [PDF]
American Heart Journal PlusBackground: Left atrial end-diastolic volume index (LAEDVI), the smallest achieved diastolic volume, strongly predicts cardiovascular events. We hypothesize that echocardiographic left atrial reservoir strain (LASr) parallels LAEDVI, providing an ...

Impact of left atrial appendage exclusion on left atrial function [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2007 We sought to investigate the short-term and midterm effects of left atrial appendage exclusion on left atrial function. Left atrial appendage exclusion is considered a possible therapeutic option for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation.
