Secondary MR demonstrated more severe impairment than primary MR, reflecting combined volume and pressure overload. Progressive LAS deterioration accompanied increasing MR severity, with LASr independently predicting surgical necessity and outperforming left ventricular global longitudinal strain as a severity marker. Multiple prognostic thresholds demonstrated independent predictive value for adverse outcomes: LASr &lt;35% predicted cardiovascular events, while LASr \u226415% in secondary MR independently predicted mortality. Postintervention LAS responses demonstrated substantial heterogeneity; patients achieving \u226515% LASr improvement experienced significantly lower all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalisation, establishing LAS recovery as a surrogate marker of successful reverse remodelling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LASr is a sensitive, consistent marker of atrial dysfunction in MR, identifying mechanical impairment prior to irreversible remodelling.
