Abstract Left atrial (LA) adaptive changes associated with pre-eclampsia (PE) have not been adequately addressed. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of LA myocardial function indices in detecting early cardiac alterations in PE. Using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), LA volumetric and myocardial parameters were acquired in PE women with preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function based on standard criteria and normotensive controls. LA compliance was assessed by the ratio of reservoir strain (LASr) to the estimated LA pressure (E/e’). Subtle systolic and diastolic abnormalities were identified as LV global longitudinal strain
