Key result
Volumetric LA reservoir function correlates moderately with invasive LV filling pressures in ACS.
Why the study?
The role of left atrium phasic functional assessment and the non-invasive evaluation approach for LVFP in ACS patients are not well studied.
Does left atrium reservoir function assessed by echocardiography correlate with invasively measured left ventricular filling pressure in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Cross-Sectional (n=54)
Does left atrium reservoir function assessed by echocardiography correlate with invasively measured left ventricular filling pressure in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Effect estimate: r= 0.567
Left atrium reservoir function may provide an adequate surrogate for elevated LVFP in ACS patients, whereas the currently recommended AHA/EACVI approach has limited value.
LA reservoir function may correlate with LVFP in ACS; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.

Rady et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=54). Left atrium reservoir function assessment was evaluated on Correlation between left atrium reservoir function and invasively measured left ventricular filling pressure (r= 0.567). Left atrium reservoir function measured by volumetric method showed a significant correlation with invasively measured left ventricular filling pressure (r=0.567) in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
