| Research Abstract |
To quantify the left atrial(LA) wall oscillations in atrial fibrillation(AF), we examined the transthoracic and transesophageal 2-dimensional echocardiography in 48 patients with AF. LA wall longitudinal strain curves with a peak at end-systole were obtained by speckle tracking analysis. LA wall oscillations were recognized as periodic undulating strain curves and maximal LA wall oscillating strain was obtained visually. The mean value of the maximal LA wall oscillating strain was 2.8±1.3%(range 0.9-7.1%). LA appendage flow velocity was selected as an independent relating factor of maximal LA wall oscillating strain. In conclusion, automated 2-dimensional tissue tracking appears to be useful for the quantitative assessment of the LA wall oscillations.
