Left atrial and right atrial deformation in patients with coronary artery disease: a velocity vector imaging-based study.
BACKGROUND: Impaired left ventricular (LV) function has been shown by strain rate (SR) imaging in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Our aim was to investigate global and regional, systolic and diastolic left atrial (LA) and right atrial (RA) longitudinal deformation in CAD using velocity...
