Abstract:declined between each age bracket (p,0.015), with LA contractile strain increasing in groups 'b' and 'c' vs group 'a' (p=0.006 and p,0.001, respectively). Conclusion: LA conduit strain is altered early with a compensatory increase in LA contractile strain, whilst LA reservoir strain shows progressive reduction with increasing age. These phasic functional changes are reflected by an early increase in LA PreP volume and subsequent increase in LA min .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
