Cardiac Imaging for the Assessment of Left Atrial Mechanics Across Heart Failure Stages

Cardiac Imaging for the Assessment of Left Atrial Mechanics Across Heart Failure Stages

The left atrium (LA) is emerging as a key element in the pathophysiology of several cardiac diseases due to having an active role in contrasting heart failure (HF) progression. Its morphological and functional remodeling occurs progressively according to pressure or volume overload generated by the...
