Left atrial stiffness and strain are novel indices of left ventricular diastolic function in children: validation followed by application in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children due to COVID-19
Description
CONCLUSION: In children with elevated PCWP, LA stiffness was significantly increased. When applied to children with MIS-C, LA stiffness classified myocardial injury accurately. LA stiffness and strain may serve as noninvasive markers of diastolic
