Abstract

BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) strain (S) and strain rate (SR) are reported as measures of intrinsic function. AIM: Since the LA and left ventricle (LV) are connected through the mitral annulus, we investigated: (1) if deformation indices in the LA are mostly predicted by deformation of the LV; (2) if...
