Atrial cardiomyopathy represents a process of structural and functional changes affecting the atria and leading eventually to clinical manifestation of atrial fibrillation and risk of stroke. Multimodality imaging provides a comprehensive evaluation of atrial remodeling and plays a crucial role in the decision-making process in treatment strategy. This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge on the topic of left atrial strain imaging using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE). We focus on our recently published data on left atrial remodeling assessed by 2D-STE versus high-density voltage mapping in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
心房心肌病是一个影响心房的结构和功能变化过程，最终导致房颤的临床表现和中风风险。多模态成像可对心房重构进行全面评估，并在治疗策略的决策过程中发挥关键作用。本文总结了使用二维斑点追踪超声心动图（2D-STE）进行左心房应变成像这一主题的当前知识状态。我们重点关注我们最近发表的关于房颤（AF）患者中通过2D-STE与高密度电压标测评估左心房重构的数据。
