Abstract

Our comprehension of atrial mechanics, atrial cardiomyopathy and their clinical implications across various cardiovascular conditions has advanced significantly. Atrial interventions can have differing effects on atrial mechanics. With the rapid increase in the use of atrial interventions, it is crucial for investigators and clinicians to acknowledge the potential adverse effects of these interventions on atrial mechanics that might not be clinically significant at the time of interventions. Recognizing the preclinical stage of atrial maladaptation might enable early interventions before the development of irreversible atrial remodeling and clinical manifestation. We review normal atrial function and mechanics, and atrial cardiomyopathy in select cardiovascular conditions. We also summarize and discuss the current evidence of the impact of various atrial interventions on atrial function and mechanics.
