“…In a study by Cameli et al . [ 43 ], there was a strong association between LASr and cardiovascular events after adjustments, and both LA emptying fraction and LASr were superior and incremental to LAVI, suggesting that impaired reservoir function (LASr) may be a more sensitive indicator of left atrial remodeling [ 44 , 45 ]. Studies have shown an association between reduced LASr and contractile function, as well as paroxysmal AF that precedes LA enlargement [ 46 , 47 ].…”

Atrial cardiomyopathy represents a process of structural and functional changes affecting the atria and leading eventually to clinical manifestation of atrial fibrillation and risk of stroke. Multimodality imaging provides a comprehensive evaluation of atrial remodeling and plays a crucial role in the decision-making process in treatment strategy. This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge on the topic of left atrial strain imaging using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE). We focus on our recently published data on left atrial remodeling assessed by 2D-STE versus high-density voltage mapping in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
