OSA is associated with LA remodeling and dysfunction that occurs in the subclinical stage before the development of LVH and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and it will be further aggravated along with the development of LVH and OSA severity. The process can be detected with a detailed evaluation of active and passive functions of the LA using the STE and RT3DE method.
