摘要

The left atrium is an important cardiac chamber with well recognised anatomical and physiological role during the cardiac cycle. Recent imaging advances have assisted recognition of different components of left atrial function and contribution to the overall stroke volume and cardiac performance. This chapter deals with the anatomical, physiological and accurate means of studying the left atrium in different cardiac conditions
