Key result
Multiparametric LA assessment highlights its active role in modulating cardiac output and diastolic function.
Why the study?
Advances in cardiovascular physiology and imaging techniques have highlighted the left atrium's active role, prompting the evolution of its assessment into a multiparametric functional approach.
Highlights the evolution of left atrial assessment into a multiparametric functional approach for evaluating cardiac output and diastolic function.
Supports multiparametric LA assessment clinically; leaves open prospective validation of parameters.
The left atrium (LA) has historically been considered a passive chamber that conducts blood flow between the pulmonary veins and the left ventricle (LV).Advances in cardiovascular physiology and imaging techniques have highlighted its active role in modulating cardiac output, ventricular diastolic function, and the stratification of various heart diseases.Assessment of the LA has evolved over the years into a multiparametric functional approach, consolidated as an essential component of
