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 ...

The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles, 2017 The left atrium (LA) is a left posterior cardiac chamber which is located adjacent to the esophagus. It is separated from the right atrium by the inter-atrial septum and connected to the left ventricle by the mitral valve apparatus. Left and right pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood to the LA during the cardiac cycle. During ventricular systole, the

Left atrial function in cardiac amyloidosis
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2016 Left atrium can be involved by amyloid deposition in familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP). The aim of our study is to assess left atrium function in atrial amyloidosis.Twenty-eight FAP patients (53 ± 12 years) and a control group of 22 asymptomatic individuals (49 ± 11 years) underwent strain echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

Deep learning of left atrial structure and function provides link to atrial fibrillation risk [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIncreased left atrial volume and decreased left atrial function have long been associated with atrial fibrillation. The availability of large-scale cardiac magnetic resonance imaging data paired with genetic data provides a unique opportunity to assess ...

Left atrial mechanical functions in pre‐eclampsia
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, 2005 AbstractAim: To assess the effect of short‐term pressure overload on left atrial (LA) mechanical function in pre‐eclampsia.Methods: Twenty women with pre‐eclampsia and 17 age‐matched healthy pregnant women were included. LA volumes were measured echocardiographically at the time of mitral valve opening (Vmax), onset of atrial systole (p‐wave at the ...

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.
