Table 4 LA strain data compared with normal values in healthy individuals

From: Left atrial strain - an early marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Variable

Study population (95% CI)

Normal values according to metanalysis (95% CI) [8]

Mean contractile strain

−14.14 (−15.61–-12.67) %

17.4 (16.0–19.0) %

Mean conduit strain

15.98 (14.76–17.20) %

23.0 (20.7–25.2) %

Mean reservoir strain

31.03 (29.11–32.96) %

39.4% (38.0–40.8) %

  1. Contractile, conduit and reservoir strains in patients with mild hypertension and paroxysmal AF are lower compared to normal population
