Left atrial phasic function remodeling during its enlargement: a two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography study

Abstract Background Left atrial (LA) size is often used as a surrogate marker of LA function in clinical practice, with larger atrial thought to represent a “dysfunctioning” atrium, since there is no accepted ‘gold’ standard to evaluate LA function. The exact relationship between LA size and phasic...
