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 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 …

Background Left atrial (LA) dysfunction is associated with morbidity and mortality. To the
knowledge of the authors, the relationship of LA strain to long-term prognosis in participants …

Background: The prognostic importance of left atrial (LA) dysfunction is increasingly
recognized. Magnetic resonance imaging can provide excellent visualization of the LA wall …

Background Left atrial (LA) strain imaging enables the quantitative assessment of LA
function. The clinical relevance of these measurements is dependent on the provision of …

Background Abnormal left atrial (LA) function is a marker of cardiac dysfunction and adverse
cardiovascular outcome, but is difficult to assess, and hence not, routinely quantified. We …

Aims The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of atrial strain and strain rate
(SR) parameters derived from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking (FT) in …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with profound structural and functional
changes in the atria. In the present study, we investigated the association between left atrial …

The left atrium (LA) has a crucial function in maintaining left ventricular filling, which is
responsible for about one-third of all cardiac filling. A growing body of evidence shows that …

Aims Left ventricular (LV) strain provides incremental values to LV ejection fraction (LVEF) in
predicting outcome. We sought to investigate if similar relationship is observed between left …
