Abstract
Our principal aim was to describe functional changes in dilated left atrium (LA) of children by using new applications of LA strain. We studied 66 patients (age range 0.2–22 years) consisting of 33 with LA enlargement. We utilized speckle-tracking imaging for assessment LA longitudinal strain (S) and longitudinal displacement (D). S–D loops were generated by plotting S and D data along Y and X axes, respectively. We also measured noninvasive LA stiffness index, =E/e^'/LA peak strain (
