The importance of integrated left atrial evaluation: From hypertension to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
ConclusionEvaluation of LA size, volume, function and structure are mandatory in the management of patients with HT, HFpEF and AF. A multi‐modality approach could provide additional information, identifying subjects with more severe LA remodelling. Left atrium assessment deserves an accurate study inside the cardiac imaging approach and optimised measurement with established cut‐offs need to be better recognised through multicenter studies.
