Decreased Left Atrial Reservoir Strain Is Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Restrictive Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2022 Background: Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) places patients at high risk for adverse events. In this study, we aim to evaluate the association between left atrial function and time to adverse events such as all-cause mortality and cardiovascular ...

Left and Right Atrial Strain Across the Heart Failure Continuum: Multifaceted Markers of Subclinical Mechanical Dysfunction and Haemodynamic Burden [PDF]
DiagnosticsHeart failure (HF) is increasingly recognized as a progressive syndrome that begins long before patients develop clinical signs or symptoms, during which conventional echocardiographic parameters may fail to detect early myocardial impairment.

Left Atrial Strain: Crucial Cardiac Navigator in Practice
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023 Left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressure estimation is essential for characterization of heart failure. Despite extensive research and the availability of numerous metrics, the assessment of LV diastolic pressures both at rest and after exertion has been

Cardiac mechanics and incident ischemic stroke: the Cardiovascular Health Study
Scientific Reports, 2021 Recent evidence indicates that our understanding of the relationship between cardiac function and ischemic stroke remains incomplete. The Cardiovascular Health Study enrolled community-dwelling adults ≥ 65 years old. We included participants with speckle-
