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 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 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 …

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) …

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 …

Left atrial (LA) features are altered when diastolic dysfunction (DD) is present. The relations
of LA features to the DD severity and to adverse outcomes remain unclear using CMR …

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 …

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 …
