Left atrial strain: a new window on left ventricular filling pressure?

Left atrial strain: a new window on left ventricular filling pressure?

In a paper published in the current issue of this Journal, Henein et al. 1 demonstrated that pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) correlated strongly with global left atrial (LA) systolic strain rate, which was the most accurate echocardiographic variable in identifying abnormally raised pressu...
