Progress in the Clinical Application of Left Atrial Strain Assessment Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Feature Tracking Technology
The left atrial plays a crucial role in maintaining left ventricular filling.Changes in the left atrial are associated with a variety of cardiovascular diseases.The recently proposed cardiac magnetic resonance atrial strain assessment can overcome the limitations of atrial volume measurements.In addition,left atrial strain injury can be detected in the early stages of cardiovascular disease.Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking(CMR-FT)is increasingly proving to be a feasible and reproducible technique for assessing left atrial function by strain.In this literature review on atrial strain analysis,we describe recent applications and prospects for the development of CMR-FT for the study of atrial function in clinical practice.
