Symptomatic giant left atrial aneurysm in a child : a rare entity [PDF]

, 2010
Isolated left atrial aneurysms are rare entities in clinical practice. Usually the condition is diagnosed in the second to fourth decades of life. The presence of such lesions in the pediatric age group is scantily described.

Left atrial strain in patients without cardiovascular disease: uncovering influencing and related factors

Cardiovascular Ultrasound
Background Despite its proven prognostic value in different contexts, the precise implications of left atrial strain (LAS) assessment throughout different phases of the atrial cycle remain uncertain.

Left atrial strain after maximal exercise in competitive waterpolo players

, 2016
Left atrial (LA) function is a determinant of left ventricular (LV) filling. It carries out three main functions: reservoir, conduit, contractile. Aim of this study was to evaluate the role of LA and its deformation properties on LV filling at rest (R ...

Right heart and left atrial strain to differentiate cardiac amyloidosis and Fabry disease

Scientific Reports
Echocardiographic differentiation of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and Fabry disease (FD) is often challenging using standard echocardiographic parameters. We retrospectively analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of right heart and left atrial strain parameters to

Normal ranges of left atrial strain by speckle-tracking echocardiography: A systematic review and meta-analysis

, 2017
Background: Recent advances in the assessment of myocardial function have facilitated the direct measurement of atrial function using speckle-tracking echocardiography.

Alterations in left atrial volume and function after atrial fibrillation ablation evaluated by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography

Scientific Reports
Left atrial (LA) strain, measured using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE), is crucial for evaluating LA performance. However, alterations in longitudinal and circumferential LA reservoir function after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remain ...

Assessment of left atrial reservoir function in mitral valve disease by tissue doppler, strain and strain rate imaging [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Mitral valve stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation still result in significant morbidity and mortality. It has been shown that atrial remodeling and atrial fibrillation may occur in these patients. We sought to investigate how pressure or

Three-Dimensional Left Atrial Reservoir Function During Sinus Rhythm Can Discriminate Between a History of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and its Absence

Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and can lead in the long-term to atrial remodelling. Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography allows evaluation of left atrial function and the magnitude of remodelling ...

Association between Left Atrial Function and Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystemic autoimmune disorder in which cardiac involvement is frequent and portends negative prognosis. Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is one of the most common cardiac alterations in these patients, and ...
