Overview of left atrium phasic volumes using real time three dimensional echocardiography

OpenAlex İngilizce

The reservoir, conduit, and contractile phasic volumes and functions of the left atrium (LA) are important to understand overall cardiac performance.As far as recent studies are concerned, the accurate assessment of LA phasic functions and structure, using techniques such as conventional two-dimensional echocardiography (2D-echo), real time three dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE), color tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), as well as cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).This review article explains how to determine the LA volume and functions using RT3DE and emphases their relationship with current diseases.
