1. Fig. 5. Left atrium (LA) function evaluation in a patient with severe asymptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR). The LA ejection fraction calculated by LA maximum volume (130 mL in A)-LA minimum volume (80 mL in B) divided by LA maximum volume is decreased to 38%. The LA strain values (i.e., reservoir, conduit, and contractile function) calculated by speckle tracking imaging (C) in the same patient with severe asymptomatic MR are decreased.
