AbstractAims: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of measuring left atrial dysfunction with tissue Doppler imaging derived strain rate and to explore its role in predicting the maintenance of sinus rhythm after cardioversion for atrial fibrillation. Methods and results: Strain rate (SR) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) were performed with offline analysis of the basal left atrial wall (LA). SR detected a systolic (Ssr) and early diastolic (Esr) deformation induced by ventricular motion. LA dimensions and volume were measured. Left atrial appendage emptying (LAA_EV) and filling (LAA_FV) velocities were also obtained by transesophageal echocardiography. 27 healthy age-matched controls and 42 patients with AF before cardioversion were studied. Patients were grouped into (1): those who remained in sinus rhythm (group S, n = 12) and (2) those who either failed cardioversion or reverted to AF within 4 weeks (group F, n = 30). LA dimensions were significantly larger and atrial Esr was significantly lower in group F than group S (all p < 0.01). LAA_EV and LAA_FV were not different between groups S and F. Multivariate regression analysis showed that a lower Esr and larger transverse LA diameter (LADtr) were independent predictors of failure of cardioversion (HR, 95% CI: 0.36, 0.14-0.88 and 2.85, 1.33-6.10, respectively). Esr combined with LADtr improved the sensitivity and specificity for predicting successful cardioversion. Conclusions: SR can be measured in the basal LA wall in atrial fibrillation and the magnitude of the early diastolic SR could predict the success of cardioversion and the likelihood of maintenance of sinus rhythm. © 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
