Background: Left atrial (LA) strain (S) and strain rate (SR) are reported as measures of intrinsic function. Aim: Since the LA and left ventricle (LV) are connected through the mitral annulus, we investigated: (1) if deformation indices in the LA are mostly predicted by deformation of the LV; (2) if timings of S and SR events are similar in both the LA and LV; and (3) if alteration of S and SR in patients with primarily LV dysfunction would be similar in the LA and LV. Methods: We retrospectively assessed 50 asymptomatic women (Group 1) and 20 patients with recent (< 96 h) acute pulmonary oedema (10 women) (Group 2). Using speckle tracking, the amplitude and timings of S and SR were averaged from three apical views, for one cardiac cycle...
