Reliability of left atrial strain reference values: A 3D echocardiographic study.
<h4>Background</h4>Standard apical four-chamber and two-chamber views often maximize the long-axis of the left ventricle, resulting in artifactitious foreshortening of the left atrium (LA), which may overestimate LA longitudinal reservoir strain (LALS). We compared LALS values between 2D...
