Left atrial function assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity: a case report.

This is a case report suggesting that LA reservoir function might be a more sensitive indicator than LVEF or LV-GLS in detecting CTRCD and that LA booster function might be the earliest. Left atrium reservoir function might be a more sensitive than conventional LV pump function and optimal indicator in CTRCD.
