Right Atrial Function in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
BACKGROUND Elevated right atrial (RA) pressure is an established prognostic measure in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, little is known about perturbations in RA function in PAH. METHODS AND RESULTS Reservoir (RA longitudinal strain [RA LS]), conduit (RA early LS rate), and active (RA late LS rate) phases were assessed by 2D speckle tracking in 65 patients with PAH, 6-minute wa...
متن کاملImpact of mild hypertension on left atrial size and function.
BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) enlargement has been documented to occur in moderate and severe hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred twelve mild hypertension patients were prospectively recruited and compared with 198 healthy volunteers. All recruits had a transthoracic echocardiogram. Maximum LA biplane volume, minimum LA biplane volume, and pre 'p'-LA biplane volume were measured, and ...
متن کاملArterial stiffness in assessment of impaired left atrial function
Arterial stiffness arises as a result of structural and functional changes in the vascular system wall (1). Its measure has gained importance in recent years in the evaluation of vascular risk due to its important correlation with some of the target organ damage that causes hypertension (2, 3) as well as in a non-hypertensive population (4). The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) is ver...
متن کاملLeft atrial strain in patients with arterial hypertension early effects of arterial hypertension: left atrial deformation analysis by two- dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography
Arterial hypertension (HtN) is one of the common diseases associated with the increased incidence of heart failure 1, 2 and is one of the independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) 3, 4 through perpetual structural and functional changes in the left atrium (LA) 5. Hypertensive cardiopathy starts in the left ventricle (LV) 6 while ejection fraction (eF) is still maintained 7. subseque...
متن کاملArterial Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation, and Hyperaldosteronism
Atrial fibrillation (AF) involves 1% to 2% of the adult general population, a rate that increases to 15% in those 80 years and above. Because of the aging of the general population, this epidemic of AF is expected to increase over the next decades and to impose an increasing burden on the healthcare system because of the need for life-long care and pharmacological treatment. Identification of t...
