In a large paper, Wehner et al. reported a U-shaped relationship between LVEF and all-cause mortality [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;], irrespective of age and other comorbidities, highlighting the fact that patients with snLVEF have an increased risk of death, which might be similar to that of patients with reduced LVEF [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. Left atrial (LA) deformation assessed by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is a sensitive marker of diastolic dysfunction [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;] and current consensus recommendations suggest that LA reservoir strain (LARS) should be used as an additional parameter for evaluating LV filling pressures in patients with preserved LVEF [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;]. Moreover, LARS was recently found to be an independent predictor of mortality, stroke, and HF in patients with normal LVEF [&lt;span&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based on this previous knowledge, in the current issue of &lt;i&gt;Echocardiography&lt;/i&gt;, Liu and colleagues [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;] investigated LA and LV deformation patterns in hypertensive patients with snLVEF. Their study retrospectively enrolled 101 patients with essential arterial hypertension and preserved LVEF ≥50%, who were divided into low-normal LVEF (lnLVEF; 50%–59%), mid-normal LVEF (mnLVEF; 60%–69%), and supra-normal LVEF (≥70%). Their findings showed that hypertensive patients with snLVEF had impaired LA reservoir and conduit functions with preserved pump function, while patients with lnLVEF exhibited impairment of all three LA phasic functions. The authors also found an inverted U-shaped relationship between LARS and LVEF, proving that snLVEF has a deleterious effect on LA remodeling and mechanics, potentially leading to an adverse outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the past years, researchers have become increasingly aware of the potential detrimental effects of snLVEF. In a population-based cohort of 486 754 individuals, a LVEF≥70% was associated with decreased survival and underdiagnosed HF [&lt;span&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;], while in women already diagnosed with HF, a snLVEF was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death, both in the acute [&lt;span&gt;8&lt;/span&gt;] and chronic setting [&lt;span&gt;9&lt;/span&gt;]. A recent study enrolling patients with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) found that patients with LVEF&gt;65% had worse outcomes after TAVR than patients with LVEF between 50% and 65% [&lt;span&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;]. Moreover, HF with snLVEF seems to differ from HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) not only in terms of survival, but also of response to treatment. For example, the EMPEROR-Preserved trial proved the beneficial effects of empaglifozin in HFpEF, but these effects were not consistent in the subgroup of patients with snLVEF [&lt;span&gt;11&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an interesting magn","PeriodicalId":50558,"journal":{"name":"Echocardiography-A Journal of Cardiovascular Ultrasound and Allied Techniques","volume":"42 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/echo.70110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143446689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
