Abstract:
Left atrial enlargement and impaired function are significant imaging markers for predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes,particularly in patients with atrial fibrillation and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.Left atrial reverse remodeling(LARR)refers to the process by which the size,morphology,and function of the left atrium are restored through therapeutic interventions or spontaneous recovery.Accurate assessment of LARR is crucial for improving clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases.Imaging techniques such as echocardiography,cardiac magnetic resonance,and nuclear medicine imaging play a key role in evaluating left atrial structure and function.These modalities assess the anatomical features of the left atrium from multiple perspectives and under various pathological conditions,quantify functional parameters,and hold significant value in monitoring disease progression,evaluating treatment efficacy,and predicting prognosis.This review summarizes recent advances in the application of multimodal imaging for LARR assessment and discusses its prospects and challenges in clinical practice.
