Left atrial (LA) myopathy contributes to a worse prognosis in heart failure and is a feature of transthyretin (ATTR) and light-chain (AL) CA. LA mechanical dispersion (LA-MD) is a novel marker of intra-atrial dyssynchrony implicated in LA myopathy and the future development of atrial fibrillation (AF).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to determine the characteristics and prognostic value of LA myopathy in ATTR and AL cardiomyopathy through a comprehensive LA echocardiographic evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ATTR (n = 86) and AL (n = 86) CA patients were compared with hypertensive heart disease (HHT) patients (n = 58). Transthoracic echocardiographic measurements including LA strain and LA-MD were obtained with patient follow-up for mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ATTR and AL patients had a median follow-up of 66 months, with 26 mortality events. Left ventricular (LV) mass, diastolic function (average-e\u2032 and E\/e\u2032), LV global longitudinal strain, and LA volume and function (LA function index and strain) were more impaired in ATTR versus AL; these echocardiographic parameters were more impaired in both amyloid groups compared to HHT patients (P &amp;lt; 0.05). LA-MD was increased in ATTR versus AL [median 72.2 (inter-quartile range 55\u201388.9) vs. 54 (43.5\u201364.2), respectively, P &amp;lt; 0.001]. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, presence of AF, LV mass, global and basal strain, and E\/e\u2032 demonstrated that LA-MD was an independent determinant of ATTR CA (P = 0.014). On multivariable analysis, LA reservoir strain was independently associated with the presence of heart failure in the CA group (P &amp;lt; 0.001). LA minimum volume (cut-off \u226518 mL\/m2) was a determinant of mortality in AL CA [Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) 1.042 (1.003\u20131.082), P = 0.034 and Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis, P = 0.016].<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Characterizing LA myopathy has significant diagnostic and prognostic utility in CA. ATTR patients have increased atrial dyssynchrony, which may have implications for AF development.
