Atrial function is an integral part for the proper performance of the circulatory system. Assessment of its haemodynamic and mechanical characteristics by use of non-invasive echocardiography, including tissue Doppler velocity and strain imaging, may provide a better insight into atrial function and its relationship with ventricular function. From an electromechanical perspective, this review summarizes not only the various methods for evaluating regional atrial function by tissue Doppler imaging, but also the normal findings in healthy subjects and the major clinical utilities in cardiac diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, ischaemic heart disease and heart failure.
心房功能是循环系统正常运行不可或缺的一部分。通过使用非侵入性超声心动图评估其血流动力学和机械特性，包括组织多普勒速度和应变成像，可能会更好地了解心房功能及其与心室功能的关系。从机电角度来看，本综述不仅总结了通过组织多普勒成像评估局部心房功能的各种方法，还总结了健康受试者的正常表现以及在心房颤动、缺血性心脏病和心力衰竭等心脏疾病中的主要临床应用。
