The average value of left atrial reservoir function using 2DSTE can be used as a predictive factor for detecting LAAV < 25 cm/s and/or dense SEC and thus recognizing high-risk patients for cardioembolic events with moderate to severe mitral stenosis. In addition, assessment of LA function and LA volume can also be helpful.
