Summary:Comprehensive knowledge of the left atrium (LA) and its pathophysiology has emerged as an important clinical and research focus in the heart failure (HF) arena. Although studies on HF focusing on investigating left ventricular remodeling are numerous, those on atrial structural and functional changes have received comparatively less attention. Studies on LA remodeling have recently received increasing attention, and LA pressure (LAP) has become a novel target for advanced monitoring and is a potential therapeutic approach for treating HF. Various devices specifically designed for the direct measurement of LAP have been developed to optimize HF treatment by reducing LAP. This review focuses on LA hemodynamic monitoring and effective LAP decompression.
