Left atrial (LA) strain is a novel non-invasive parameter for assessing LA hemodynamics and function. We sought to compare the intermodality differences between transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) derived LA strain, as well as reproducibility of strain measureme...
