Association of LV global longitudinal strain with LA reservoir strain. Degree of LA myopathy (i.e. disproportionate LA myopathy) was defined as studentized residual values derived from the linear regression model of LV GLS and LA reservoir strain. Lower residual values thus correspond to disproportionately greater LA myopathy compared with LV myopathy. GLS global longitudinal strain, LA left atrial, LV left ventricular.
