Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging [PDF]
Global Cardiology Science & Practice, 2012 Objectives: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics ...

Efficacy of left atrial plication for atrial functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2020 Abstract Objective Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is caused by atrial fibrillation and left atrial enlargement. Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of left atrial plication (LAP) for AFMR. Methods Of 1164 mitral valve surgery patients at our hospital from

Assessment of left atrial function by strain in patients with acute ıschemic stroke left atrial function and acute stroke [PDF]
Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira, 2021 Myocardial speckle-tracking echocardiography can detect subtle abnormalities in the left atrial function. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between left atrial myocardium and tissue function n assessed by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score in patients with ...

Interatrial Block, Bayés Syndrome, Left Atrial Enlargement, and Atrial Failure
, 2023 Interatrial block (IAB) is defined by the presence of a P-wave ≥120 ms. Advanced IAB is diagnosed when there is also a biphasic morphology in inferior leads.
