Going beyond classic echo in aortic stenosis: left atrial mechanics, a new mark...
Marques-Alves, Patricia; Marinho, Ana Vera; Teixeira, Rogério; Baptista, Rui; Castro, Graça; Martins, Rui; Gonçalves, LinoBackground: There is limited information regarding left atrial (LA) mechanics in aortic valve stenosis (AS). We assessed LA mechanics in AS through speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) according to severity and prognosis. Methods: We included 102 patients diagnosed with severe AS (sAS) and 80 patients with moderate AS (mAS), all with preserved ejection fraction and no coronary artery disease. LA mechanics an...
