(A) Two-dimensional speckle tracking in the left atrial wall. Red circles represent initially set regions of interest (ROIs). White squares represent ROIs which are automatically added. White lines represent complementary lines between each ROI. (B) Representative left atrial volume curve during a cardiac cycle. LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle. (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of the article.)
