Left atrial strain in patients without cardiovascular disease: uncovering influencing and related factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite its proven prognostic value in different contexts, the precise implications of left atrial strain (LAS) assessment throughout different phases of the atrial cycle remain uncertain. A direct correlation between left atrial reservoir strain (LARS) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) has been consistently demonstrated in several studies involving patients with various heart diseases. The objective of our study is to identify factors directly associated with LARS, left atrial conduction strain (LACS) and left atrial booster strain (LABS) in patients without cardiovascular (CV) disease.

Methods

Transthoracic echocardiographic examinations in patients without CV disease were prospectively selected in two tertiary hospitals echocardiography labs
