- Abstract: With the development of echocardiographic technology,the evaluation of left atrial function has become increasingly crucial in predicting cardiovascular risks in minors.The conventional two-dimensional and Doppler ultrasound can assess the left atrial volume and diastolic function,while have limited accuracies.In recent years,the emerging ultrasound two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiogra-phy(2D-STE)has made it possible to evaluate the three phases of left atrial function(reservoir,conduit,booster pump),which is more sensitive and suitable for high-risk minors with cardiomyopathy,obesity,or undergoing chemotherapy.This article reviews the progress of 2D-STE in evaluating left atrial function in minors,and discusses its potential and challenges in early clinical diagnosis and prognosis assessment,with the aim of providing a reference for clinical practice.
