Observational study compares left atrial strain and exercise capacity in non-dilated and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Patients with non-dilated cardiomyopathy exhibited higher left atrial reservoir and conduit strain values.
LA conduit strain was significantly correlated with exercise capacity (r = 0.42, p = 0.002).
Echocardiographic analysis highlighted structural differences in cardiac function between groups.
Findings suggest LA conduit strain may enhance clinical assessments in distinguishing cardiomyopathy types.

Göbüt et al. (2025) studied this question.
