Impact of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction on left atrial volume and function: a volumetric analysis
European Journal of Echocardiography, 10/19/09
Teo SG et al. – LA remodelling occurs in patients with LV diastolic dysfunction and LA volume expressed the severity of diastolic dysfunction. Initially, the LA compensates for changes in LV diastolic properties by augmenting active atrial contraction. As the severity of diastolic dysfunction increases, this compensatory mechanism fails as atrial mechanical dysfunction sets in, resulting in lower total atrial emptying volume.
