Left atrial (LA) geometry and phasic functions are frequently impaired in non-ischaemic
dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can accurately …

Background Clinical significance of left atrial (LA) function and geometry in patients with
dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. Hypothesis LA geometric parameters …

To evaluate left atrial (LA) function and strain parameters by cardiac magnetic resonance
imaging (CMR) in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and evaluate the …

Aims This study aimed to compare the association between measures of left atrial (LA)
structure and function, derived from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), with …

Background Left atrial (LA) enlargement is associated with cardiac events in patients with
dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, the clinical significance of LA function and …

Background: Single centre studies indicated FT derived LAS holds prognostic value in
patients with DCM.[1, 2] We hypothesised LAS may provide prognostic significance and may …

Background There is increasing recognition that left atrial (LA) function is prognostically
important in cardiovascular disease. LA strain is a sensitive parameter to describe complex …

BACKGROUND. MRI-based prognostic evaluation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
(DCM) has historically used markers of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and feature …

Background The left atrium is an early sensor of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Still, the
prognostic value of left atrial (LA) function (strain) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in …

Aims Echocardiographic studies have shown that left atrial volume (LAV) predicts adverse
outcome in small heart failure (HF) cohorts of mixed aetiology. However, the prognostic …
