The left atrium has an important role in modulating left ventricular filling and is an important
biomarker of cardiovascular disease and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. While …

Left atrial (LA) imaging is still not routinely used for diagnosis and risk stratification, although
recent studies have emphasized its importance as an imaging biomarker. Cardiovascular …

Background and Objectives: There is emerging evidence of the usefulness of left atrial strain
(LAS) in the assessment of diastolic dysfunction (DD). In this study we assess the sensitivity …

Left atrial (LA) functional analysis has an established role in assessing left ventricular
diastolic function. The current standard echocardiographic parameters used to study left …

Background: We aimed to investigate the correlations between left atrial strain (LAS)
assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography and directly measured left atrial pressures …

Background Arterial hypertension adversely affects left atrial (LA) size and function, effect on
function may precede effect on size. Many techniques were used to assess LA function but …

Objective Epidemiological studies have established that women with pre‐eclampsia (PE)
are at increased long‐term cardiovascular risk. Mild cardiac functional changes have been …

Objective: To evaluate left atrial (LA) deformation parameters strain (S)/strain rate (SR) and
time to peak S/SR obtained by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D …

Background Left atrium (LA) deformation analysis by two‐dimensional speckle tracking
echocardiography (2D STE) has recently been proposed to evaluate left ventricular (LV) …
