Quantification of left atrial (LA) conduit function and its contribution to left ventricular (LV) filling is challenging because it requires simultaneous measurements of both LA and LV volumes. The functional relationship between LA conduit function and the severity of diastolic dysfunction remains controversial. We studied the role of LA conduit function in maintaining LV filling in advanced diastolic dysfunction.
