Comparison of Left Atrial Volume Parameters in Detecting Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Versus Tissue Doppler Recordings

Because of diastolic coupling between the left atrium and left ventricle, we hypothesized that left atrial (LA) function mirrors the diastolic function of left ventricle. The aims of this study were to assess whether LA volume parameters can be good indexes of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction....
