LEFT ATRIAL STRAIN RESPONSE TO HEART RATE IN PATIENTS AFFECTED OR NOT BY CHRONIC HEART FAILURE: HEMODYNAMIC CORRELATES
Anno:
2023
Background and aim of the study. Previous studies evaluated the effects of heart rate (HR) increase on the left ventricular (LV) function, by two-dimensional longitudinal strain, but many authors also assessed the left atrium (LA) function based on speckle tracking imaging (STI). The LA and LV are connected through the mitral…
LEFT ATRIAL STRAIN RESPONSE TO HEART RATE IN PATIENTS AFFECTED OR NOT BY CHRONIC HEART FAILURE: CLINICAL CORRELATES
Anno:
2023
Background and aim of the study. Left atrium (LA) is poorly understood in many pathological conditions and it is often considered a passive bystander of these pathophysiologic alterations. In the setting of impaired heart rate related LV response, the LA function could play a relevant role. The relevance of LA has been…
