LA, left atrial; LAScd, left atrial strain conduit; LASct, left atrial strain contraction; LASr, left atrial strain reservoir; LAVI, left atrial volume index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LV GLS, left ventricular global longitudinal strain; LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy; LVMI, left ventricular mass index. Enlargement LA defined as LAVI > 20 m^l/m². LVH defined as LVMI > 95 g/m² for females and LVMI > 115 g/m² for males.
