Left atrial size and function parameters are associated with adverse outcomes in multiple disease states, including heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction. Recent data suggest that phasic left atrial function and left atrial stain measurements also hold prognostic information. Three-dimensional echocardiography provides more accurate and reproducible quantification of left atrial volumes than 2-dimensional echocardiography when compared with cardiac magnetic resonance reference standards. Greater accessibility to these advanced imaging techniques allows for the integration of these parameters into routine clinical practice.
