SUMMARY
Much less data is available regarding direct relationship between LA size and its phasic function for there is currently no recognized ‘gold` standard method in LA function assessment. Utilizing two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D STE) the study aimed to assess LA phasic strain in subjects stratified as high-risk for CVD risk to explore the relationship between LA size and phasic function. The authors also aimed to elucidate any changes in LA phasic components during in LA remodeling spectrum and if normal LA structure dictates normal phasic function. The reservoir function (Stot) was . . .
