Right Atria

Left and right atria have gained interest from scientific community. Two or three- dimensional echocardiographic methods have been implemented for better understanding of atrial functions in both healthy persons and patients with various diseases. Atrial volume could be calculated from 2D or 3D images. Volumetric data and derived parameters could be used for determining atrial phasic functions. Nowadays, atrial deformation imaging with 2D-TDI, 2D-speckle tracking imaging or with recently introduced 3D speckle tracking is possible. All those methods have some advantages and disadvantages, which define their clinical value in the future.

The first part of this chapter illustrates how real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) has significantly improved and expanded the diagnostic efficacy of echocardiography providing anatomical and functional visualization of cardiac structures. The reader is introduced to the different applications of 3DE, to the different acquisition and display techniques of a 3D datasets and to the main artefacts which can possibly occur. The second part covers two-dimensional echocardiographic (2DE) and 3DE techniques for the assessment of global and regional myocardial function, its different parameters with typical findings and normal values. Clinical applications of the different techniques are explained focusing on the assessment of diastolic function, global systolic function, regional systolic function and dyssynchrony. Speckle tracking and Tissue Doppler are illustrated and their advantages and disadvantages discussed. Concise and practical information are provided to the reader to better understand and improve data acquisition, post-processing and data interpretation.

Prognostic Implications

Although often referred to as “the forgotten chamber”, compared with left ventricle (LV), especially in the past years, the left atrium (LA) plays a critical role in the clinical expression and prognosis of patients with heart and cerebrovascular disease, as demonstrated by several studies. Echocardiographers initially focused on early detection of atrial geometrical abnormalities through monodimensional atrial diameter quantification and then bidimensional (2D) areas and volume estimation. Now, together with conventional echocardiographic parameters, new echocardiographic techniques, such as strain Doppler, 2D speckle tracking and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography, allow assessing early LA dysfunction and they all play a fundamental role to detect early functional remodelling before anatomical alterations occur. LA dysfunction and its important prognostic implications may be detected sooner by LA strain than by volumetric measurements.
