Left Atrial Deformation in Heart Failure: A Clinical Update.
Current Problems in Cardiology 2023 August
Despite left ventricular global longitudinal strain is an eminent and validated marker of cardiovascular disease, assessment of left atrial size and function may have incremental role in diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. Left atrial strain, measured by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, is a non-invasive biomarker for the assessment of left atrial function. This novel marker, has additional value to traditional echocardiography markers of left atrial function such as left atrial diameter and volume for the diagnosis and management of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, atrial fibrillation and valvular disease. However, there are potent limitations for its use in the daily clinical practice, regarding loading conditions, image acquisition and heart rate. The aim of this review is to summarize the published evidence about left atrial strain, as assessed by speckle tracking imaging, and to discuss its clinical implications and its potent limitations.
