Determinants of Left Atrial Reservoir and Pump Strain and Use of Atrial Strain for Evaluation of Left Ventricular Filling Pressure [PDF]

European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging, 2021
Abstract 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. Methods and results

Left Atrial Strain: A Useful Index in Atrial Fibrillation

International Journal of Cardiology, 2016
Left atrial (LA) strain is a speckle tracking echocardiography (STE)-derived parameter applied to the analysis of chamber function that provides highly reproducible measures of LA deformation by a non-Doppler, angle-independent quantification. In recent years, data regarding accuracy and clinical application of LA strain are rapidly increasing.

Predictive Value of Left Atrial Strain in Relation to Atrial Fibrillation Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

International Journal of Cardiology, 2022
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrythmia following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and can lead to stroke and other heart-related diseases. This study aimed to determine the prognostic value of left atrial (LA)

Left Atrial Strain Determinants During the Cardiac Phases

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022
The present study investigated the determinants of left atrial (LA) strain in all phases of the cardiac cycle.LA strain by speckle-tracking echocardiography allows the assessment of LA function in each phase of the cardiac cycle. However, its determinants and its relation with left ventricular (LV) function have not yet been fully described.The authors

Left Atrial Strain and Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Older Adults

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequent in older adults and associated with left atrial (LA) dysfunction. LA strain (LAε) and LA strain rate (LASR) may detect subclinical LA disease. We investigated whether reduced LAε and LASR predict new-onset AF in older adults without history of AF or stroke.

Left atrial strain

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2018
To summarize recent literature on the use of left atrial strain in the diagnosis and management of patients with heart failure.Left atrial dysfunction is a hallmark of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure, in particular, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging-Based Left Atrial Strain and Left Atrial Strain Rate as Diagnostic Parameters in Cardiac Amyloidosis

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
Aims: The present study aims to evaluate magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI)-assessed left atrial strain (LAS) and left atrial strain rate (LASR) as potential parameters for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), the distinction of clinical subtypes and differentiation from other cardiomyopathies. Methods and results: LAS and LASR were assessed by MRI

Can Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate Imaging Be Used to Assess Left Atrial Appendage Function?

Cardiology, 2012
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of left atrial strain (S) and strain rate (SR) imaging in assessing left atrial appendage (LAA) function. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We studied 78 consecutive patients (35 females and 43 males; mean age 38 ± 15 years) referred for ...

Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate in Patients With Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2010
Background— Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive condition that begins with hemodynamic and/or structural changes in the left atrium (LA) and evolves through paroxysmal and persistent stages.
