Progress of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in evaluating left atrial function in minors
With the development of echocardiographic technology,the evaluation of left atrial function has become increasingly crucial in predicting cardiovascular risks in minors. The conventional two-dimensional and Doppler ultrasound can assess the left atrial volume and diastolic function, while have limited accuracies. In recent years, the emerging ultrasound two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(2D-STE) has made it possible to evaluate the three phases of left atrial function (reservoir, conduit, booster pump), which is more sensitive and suitable for high-risk minors with cardiomyopathy, obesity, or undergoing chemotherapy. This article reviews the progress of 2D-STE in evaluating left atrial function in minors, and discusses its potential and challenges in early clinical diagnosis and prognosis assessment, with the aim of providing a reference for clinical practice.
