This study evaluated LA shape and function, by investigating standard and novel strain parameters calculated by a new approach based on homologous times derived from 3D speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in hypertensive (HT) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) patients with or without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), compared to control (C) subjects. LA function was assessed using homologous times to compare strain variables among different individuals, acquired at different physiological time periods. Standard global longitudinal (GLS) and circumferential (GCS) strains were measured at peak of atrial diastole, while longitudinal and circumferential strains (GLSh, GCSh), strain rate (GLSr, GCSr), volume (Vh) and volume rate (Vr) were measured during the atrial telediastolic phase (fifth homologous time) and atrial pre-active phase (tenth homologous time). Using ANOVA, we found an impaired LA deformation detected by standard, interpolated strains and strain rates in both HT and PAF groups compared to C. We also performed ROC analysis to identify different performances of each parameter to discriminate groups (GLSr10\u2009+\u2009GCSr10: C vs PAF 0.935; C vs PAF_LVH 0.924; C vs HT_LVH 0.844; C vs HT 0.756). Our study showed anatomical and functional LA remodeling in patients with PAF and HT. 3D strains and strain rates derived from the homologous times approach provide more functional information with improved performance to identify among the explored groups, in particular PAF patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-019-43855-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]],"date-time":"2019-05-14T10:04:05Z","timestamp":1557828245000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Improving performance of 3D speckle tracking in arterial hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation by using novel strain parameters"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7363-566X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G.","family":"Esposito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Piras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Evangelista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Nuzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Nardinocchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Pannarale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Torromeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6191-7838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"P.
