Open AccessThe emerging role of atrial strain assessed by cardiac MRI in different cardiovascular settings: an up-to-date review
The left atrium (LA) has a crucial function in maintaining left ventricular filling, which is responsible for about one-third of all cardiac filling. A growing body of evidence shows that LA is involved in sev...
