CONCLUSION

LA remodeling is a recurrent condition in the adult T2DM population. The reservoir and pump LA functions were the most affected. Assessment of LA global strain allows early detection of LA remodeling and dysfunction with comparison to LA size standard analyses and LV filling pressures determined by E/E’ ratio respectively. Age, BMI, indexed LA volume, E/E’ ratio, reservoir and pump LA functions were associated to 2D LA global strain impairment.
