  • Funkcija levega preddvora = Left atrial function
    Vene, Nina
    Approximately 30% of filling of the left ventricle in healthy individuals depends on the contraction of the left atrium. In patients with left ventricular dysfunction, the contribution of the left ... atrium in the filling ofthe left ventricle is even greater. A rough estimation of left atrial function is possible using M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography, but mitral valve flow velocity with Doppler echocardiography is used more often. Aconsiderably more accurate assessment of the mechanical left atrial and function (the appendages being the sites of the formation of most thrombi) is possible by transesophageal echocardiography. The measurement of the left atrial and appendage function is particularly important in patients with atrial fibrillation and undulation. In these patients, reduced flow velocity and the development of a spontaneous contrast in the left atrium and appendageare associated with thrombus formation and the resulting thromboembolic complications. Identification of patients at a high risk of thromboembolic events is possible using transesophageal echocardiography whichfacilitates the decision for anticoagulant treatment. Echocardiography also allows easy monitoring of the resumed left atrial function after cardioversion by measurement of mitral flow velocity.
