Unmasking the Epicardial Adipose Tissue‐Left Atrial Strain Nexus in HFpEF: A Potential Echocardiographic Signature of Cardiac Adaptation
Patients with HFpEF exhibit increased EAT thickness and reduced left atrial function. The thickening of EAT is associated with a decrease in left atrial strain. LA strain, particularly LASr, may serve as a sensitive indicator for early detection of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in HFpEF.
