TL;DR

In patients with DMR, AF was associated with more advanced LA structural remodeling, impaired LA function, and higher CMR LGE burden, and echocardiographic LA functional parameters may provide complementary information for the discrimination of AF.

Prediction of left atrial appendage dysfunction by atrial strain imaging in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis in sinus rhythm

Left atrial strain imaging provides a robust non-invasive predictor of LAA dysfunction in severe rheumatic MS patients in sinus rhythm and supports the potential clinical utility of LA strain in improving risk stratification and guiding anticoagulation decisions in this under-recognized high-risk population.

Association of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance-Derived Papillary Muscle Abnormalities with Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

CMR-derived PM abnormalities were associated with NSVT in patients with HCM, and PM-LGE, abnormal chordal attachment, and anterolateral PM–septum systolic contact emerged as exploratory CMR characteristics that warrant further evaluation in larger prospective studies.

Quantitative MRI assessment of left ventricular filling: associations with left atrial and pulmonary artery dimensions in a population-based study

In individuals free of overt cardiovascular disease, MRI-derived LV filling dynamics were associated with structural alterations of the left atrium and pulmonary vasculature, suggesting that changes across the cardiopulmonary axis may already be detectable by whole-body MRI before clinical disease becomes apparent.

Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage Remodeling Assessed by Echocardiography Predict Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

The aim of this study is to evaluate left atrium and left atrial appendage remodeling using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) and investigate its predictive value for atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA).

Diagnostic Value of Left Atrioventricular Coupling Index and Left Atrial Stiffness Index for Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Comparative Study Based on the 2025 ASE Guidelines.

Both LACI and LASI demonstrate good diagnostic value for LVDD in patients with CKD, with LASI showing superior performance and the combined use of both parameters significantly improves diagnostic sensitivity.

Resting Tissue Doppler Imaging for Detecting Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction and No Wall Motion Abnormalities

Tissue Doppler Imaging-derived mitral annular velocities, particularly S′ velocity, may be a useful resting echocardiographic parameter for identifying CAD in selected patients with preserved LVEF and no resting regional wall motion abnormalities.
