Display of the left atrial deformation over a cardiac cycle, starting at the QRS as zero reference point. The peak positive longitudinal strain (LAS) corresponds to atrial reservoir function (LASr — reservoir strain), strain during early diastole reflects atrial conduit function (LAScd — conduit strain) and strain during late diastole corresponds to atrial contractile function (LASct — LA contraction strain).
