Abstract

In cardiology, ventricular function has extensively been studied, whereas atrial function received less attention. For such a reason atrial function is less known. The aim of this review was to summarize the role of atrial function and to explain how echocardiography and new echocardiographic-derived techniques may be of help to better study atrial function.
