LA reservoir and conduit LS are highly volume dependent strain parameters and are strongly correlated with LV deformation along with ultrafiltrated volume. Acute excessive volume depletion or LV deformation have no influence on LAScontraction. It is important to identify independent easily accessible functional parameters for the LA which would improve clinical evaluation.
