The present study is the first to evaluate the left atrial mechanics and left ventricular functions in the patients with IST using 3D-STE. We found that IST had a negative effect on left atrial mechanics. According to our findings, we can say that IST is not a completely innocent, benign clinical condition, but rather, it causes subclinical left atrial dysfunction.
