Objectives: This study sought to observe the relationship between left atrial (LA) strain and
left ventricular diastolic function and determine whether LA strain could be used to detect …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential usefulness and clinical
relevance of adding left atrial (LA) strain to left atrial volume index (LAVI) in the detection of …

Objectives This study is to establish the association of left atrial reservoir strain (LARS) with
incident heart failure (HF), and the impact of substituting LARS for left atrial (LA) volume …

Aims The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to examine the association of left atrial
(LA) strain (ie LA reservoir function) with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) in patients …

Left atrial (LA) strain has emerged as a useful parameter for the assessment of left
ventricular (LV) diastolic function and the estimation of LV filling pressures. Some have …

Objectives The present study investigated the determinants of left atrial (LA) strain in all
phases of the cardiac cycle. Background LA strain by speckle-tracking echocardiography …

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 …

The noninvasive estimation of diastolic function with echocardiography as a surrogate of left
ventricular filling pressure is considered an essential step in the clinical evaluation of …

Objectives The aims of this study were to test the magnitude of agreement between
echocardiography (echo)-and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)–derived left atrial (LA) …

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 …
