Background The role of the dysfunction of left atrium in the occurrence and development of
cardiovascular disease has been gradually recognized. We aim to compare the impact on …

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between left atrial
(LA) myocardial function and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in subjects with …

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 …

Aims Left atrial (LA) strain is a prognostic biomarker with utility across a spectrum of acute
and chronic cardiovascular pathologies. There are limited data on intervendor differences …

Background—Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with left atrial (LA) structural and functional
changes. Cardiac magnetic resonance late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and feature …

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) remains challenging to be assessed by
echocardiography. We sought to explore the relationship between left atrial strain and left …

This study sought to examine whether early cardiac alterations could be detected by left
atrial (LA) strain in patients with risk for cardiac abnormalities. In this cross-sectional and …

Atrial fibrosis can be estimated noninvasively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using
late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), but diastolic dysfunction is clinically assessed by …

Background Left atrial (LA) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR) imaging is indicative of fibrosis, and has been correlated with reduced LA …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the association between left atrial (LA)
volume and function measured with feature-tracking cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) …
