Determinants of left atrial reservoir strain and diagnostic potential for cardiac amyloidosis in pathological left ventricular hypertrophy

Abstract Background Left ventricular (LV) long-axis shortening at the cardiac base is a determinant of left atrial (LA) reservoir function. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is characteristic of amyloid deposition predominantly in the LV basal wall. We investigated the relationship between LV basal strain an...
