Progress of echocardiography in the evaluation of left atrial function in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

About half of all heart failures are heart failures with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEFs). As the population ages and metabolic disorders become more common, the prevalence of HFpEF continues to increase annually. Patients with HFpEF typically show a decline in various reserve capacities after exercise. According to recent research, patients with HFpEF may have significant clinical symptoms due to left atrial (LA) dysfunction. Patients with HFpEF may benefit greatly from the early detection of LA myocardial damage using echocardiographic measurements, particularly LA strain. This article examined state-of-the-art echocardiography as it relates to the assessment of LA function in patients with HFpEF.
