Methodological Gaps in Left Atrial Function Assessment by 2D Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Abstract The assessment of left atrial (LA) function is used in various cardiovascular diseases. LA plays a complementary role in cardiac performance by modulating left ventricular (LV) function. Transthoracic two-dimensional (2D) phasic volumes and Doppler echocardiography can measure LA function n...
