Atrial deformation correlated with functional capacity in mitral stenosis patients.

Background: Left atrial (LA) dysfunction, expressed as impaired LA deformation using two‐dimensional (2D) strain imaging, has been observed in association with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). However, the clinical role of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE)‐derived LA strain has rarely been stud...
