Cover Story: The left atrium (LA) plays a vital role in maintaining normal cardiac function. Many cardiac diseases involve the functioning of the LA directly or indirectly. For this reason, the study of the LA has become a priority for today’s imaging techniques. Knowledge of the usefulness of each cardiac imaging technique for the study of LA in these patients is crucial in order to choose the most appropriate treatment. Therefore, the goal of this review article is to describe the basic anatomical and functional information of the LA as well as their study employing the main imaging techniques currently available, so that practitioners specializing in cardiac imaging techniques can use these tools in an accurate and clinically useful manner.
