Fig. 1From: Left atrial reservoir strain combined with E/E' as a better single measure to predict elevated LV filling pressures in patients with coronary artery diseaseRepresentative example of two-dimensional STE–derived left atrial strain measurements during the reservoir, conduit, and contraction phases using an apical four-chamber view (a) and apical two-chamber view (b). Three measurement points (red dots) were used to calculate the values of deformation during the three phases. STE, speckle-tracking echocardiographyBack to article page
