E Evaluation Of Left Atrial Functions In Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy Using Conventional Echocardiography And Strain Imaging, Uday Saddam Almaliki

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by a dilated left ventricle with systolic dysfunction that is not caused by ischemic or valvular heart disease. Left atrial (LA) size is a predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcome both in the general population and in selected clinical conditions. The left atrium modulates left ventricular filling through three components: a reservoir phase during systole, a conduit phase during diastole and an active contractile component during late diastole. During diastole the LA is directly exposed to the left ventricular (LV) cavity pressure. With progressive impairment of LV diastolic function, and the consequent increase in LV …
