Advanced parameters of LA function, measured by speckle tracking echocardiography, such as strain and strain rate values in different parts of the cardiac cycle, in addition to standard measures of LA function such as LA ejection fraction and LAVI, will define an excellent understanding regarding LA myopathy and risk assessment of cryptogenic stroke, independent of considering conventional cardiovascular risk factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":46477,"journal":{"name":"ARYA Atherosclerosis","volume":"19 2","pages":"50-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11066780/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141332146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
