Inhomogeneity of the Left Atrial Strain

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Left atrial function is commonly assessed using speckle-tracking echocardiography, focusing on global strain averaged from the 4-chamber and 2-chamber views.

The value of left atrial longitudinal strain in evaluating left atrial appendage spontaneous echo contrast in non-valvular atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundSpontaneous echo contrast (SEC) observed in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a reliable predictor of the risk of future ischemic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).

Linking Epicardial Adipose Tissue to Atrial Remodeling: Clinical Implications of Strain Imaging

Hearts
Atrial fibrillation is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia influenced by multifactorial mechanisms, including the emerging role of epicardial adipose tissue. Left atrial epicardial adipose tissue, through its endocrine and paracrine activities, contributes to

Determinants of left atrial reservoir and pump strain and use of atrial strain for evaluation of left ventricular filling pressure [PDF]

, 2022
Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate determinants of left atrial (LA) reservoir and pump strain and if these parameters may serve as non-invasive markers of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure.

Left atrial reservoir strain predicts ischaemic stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting independent of postoperative atrial fibrillation. [PDF]

Eur Heart J Open, 2023
Aims: Measures of left atrial (LA) function are known to predict both ischaemic stroke and atrial fibrillation in specific patient groups. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of LA reservoir strain for predicting ischaemic stroke in ...

Left Atrial Dysfunction in Children with Repaired Pulmonary Artery Atresia with Ventricular Septal Defect: A Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Children, 2022
(1) Background: The left atrium (LA) is much more than a reservoir for left ventricular filling. The aim of this study was to assess the LA volume and function in patients with repaired pulmonary artery atresia with ventricular septal defect (rPA/VSD ...
