Left atrial strain in patients after arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries

CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that in TGA patients after ASO repair LA strain is impaired and correlates with LA size and LV function. However, impaired LA strain wasn't associated with the standard CPET parameters. As such, clinical significance needs to be further unravelled.PMID:38126324 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2296261
