Left atrial (LA) enlargement and dysfunction has been reported in end stage renal disease. However, there is a paucity of published data regarding the evaluation of LA function in CKD using noninvasive imaging parameters. In this study, we evaluated biplane LA volume as well as LA function (LA global systolic strain (GS) and strain rate [SR]) in stage 3 CKD patients (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">eGFR<\/jats:styled-content> 30\u201359\u00a0mL\/min per 1.73\u00a0m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) to determine if LA function parameters are more significantly altered by the presence of CKD in addition to changes due to hypertension alone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010three CKD patients (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">eGFR<\/jats:styled-content> 30\u201359\u00a0mL\/min per 1.73\u00a0m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) with hypertension were compared to 33 normal controls and 34 hypertensive (HT) subjects with normal renal function; all participants underwent a detailed transthoracic echocardiogram. Indexed biplane LA volume (LAVI), LA segmental function, and GS and SR (systolic, early, and late diastole) derived from tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) were measured.
