Highlights•The LA is emerging as a biomarker for evaluation of diastolic dysfunction, AF, and
HFpEF.•LA size, although routinely evaluated by 2DE, may be more accurately evaluated by …

Background Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and left atrial (LA) structural remodeling are
common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, who are also at risk for adverse …

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 2D strain imaging of the left atrium (LA) is a new echocardiographic method
which allows us to determine contractile, conduit and reservoir functions separately. This …

Several cardiac imaging modalities are able to visualize the left atrium (LA) and, therefore,
allow for quantification of both structural and functional properties of this cardiac chamber. In …

and observational studies. There is now a growing body of literature supporting its use in
different clinical settings. The work by Liao et al11 expands and corroborates current …

Background Conventional approach to myocardial strain analysis relies on a software
designed for the left ventricle (LV) which is complex and time-consuming and is not specific …

Background We investigated the usefulness of the left atrial (LA) strain measurement on the
prediction of upcoming cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) after …

Background Left atrial strain (LAS) is a measure of atrial wall deformation during cardiac
cycle and reflects atrial contribution to cardiovascular performance. Pathophysiological …
