Abstract
Left atrial remodeling is a recurrent condition in adult T2DM Cameroonians. The reservoir and pump LA functions were the most affected. Assessment of LA global strain allows early detection of LA remodeling with comparison to LA size standard analyses. Age, BMI, indexed LA volume, E/E' ratio, and reservoir and pump LA functions were associated to 2D LA global strain impairment.
