Left atrial (LA) size and function in systemic arterial hypertension. Novel technologies for LA analysis. (a) LA wall deformation curve by speckle tracking echocardiography. (b) LA volume by three-dimensional echocardiography. ACS = atrial contraction strain; PS = peak strain (peak global longitudinal strain at ventricular end-systole).
