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 …

While ventricular electromechanics is extensively studied in both physiological and
pathological conditions, four-chamber heart models have only been addressed recently; …
