The novel left atrial strain parameters in diagnosing of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Chang-Sheng Ma et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability of novel LA strain parameters to distinguish between patients with HFpEF and individuals with risk factors for HFpEF. The findings suggest that these LA strain parameters can potentially be used to estimate LVEDP and improve the diagnostic efficiency in identifying HFpEF patients.

Determinants of left atrial reservoir and pump strain and use of atrial strain for evaluation of left ventricular filling pressure

Katsuji Inoue et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate determinants of left atrial (LA) reservoir and pump strain and their ability to serve as markers of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure. The strongest determinants of LA strains were found to be LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LV filling pressure. Accuracy of LA strains in identifying elevated LV filling pressure was highest in patients with reduced LV systolic function, while high values of LA pump strain accurately identified normal LV filling pressure in patients with normal systolic function.

Normal values and reference ranges for left atrial strain by speckle-tracking echocardiography: the Copenhagen City Heart Study

Anne Bjerg Nielsen et al.

Summary: This study established normal values for left atrial (LA) strain stratified by sex and age, and assessed the prognostic yield of lower limits of normality of LA strain in relation to future atrial fibrillation (AF). The established lower limits of normality showed high specificity regarding future AF risk, indicating a low risk of developing AF in participants with LA strain above these limits.

Christine Meindl et al.

Summary: In patients with acute myocarditis and preserved LVEF, a significant reduction of GLS was detected compared to healthy subjects, particularly in the lateral, inferolateral, and inferior segments. Additionally, RLS values provided important information about the localization and extent of myocardial injury, especially in segments without LGE.
