Résumé
Atrial dilatation is common but of unclear physiologic significance in high-performance athletes. Myocardial deformation analysis utilizing speckle-tracking echocardiography has emerged as a promising tool to evaluate atrial function. In a cohort of elite basketball players attending the National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft Combine, we investigate changes in left atrial (LA) size as well as function as measured by strain. From 2013 to 2018, all male athletes who attended the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, IL, received a cardiac evaluation including a comprehensive transthoracic echocardiogram. Using the P-wave as the reference point, speckle-tracking was utilized to measure LA booster, conduit, and reservoir strain over one cardiac cycle. Left atrial volume index (LAVI) of ≥34 mL/m In this group of elite basketball players, LA enlargement was common and associated with reduced LA reservoir and conduit strain, with no difference in LA booster strain.
