Abstract Left atrial (LA) strain, obtained using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE), has emerged as an accurate method for evaluating LA function. Recently, it has gained prominence in clinical practice due to its significant prognostic value in various cardiovascular diseases, standing out due to its greater sensitivity compared to traditional methods of volumetric analysis and Doppler parameters. This review article addresses the complex function of the LA and its close interdependence with left ventricular (LV) function, highlighting its relevance in […]
