Abstract

The left atrium (LA) transfers blood to the left ventricle in a complex manner. LA function is characterized by passive emptying (LA passive fraction), active emptying (LA ejection fraction), and total emptying (LA fractional change). Despite this complexity, the clinical relevance of the LA is based almost exclusively on LA maximal volume (LAmax), which may not glean the full prognostic potential. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the most accurate method for studying LA function and size. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic importance of LA function in patients following ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
