We measured left atrial function during sinus rhythm before and after ventricular tachycardia was induced in an electrophysiology laboratory, using peak transmitral A-wave velocity from pulsed-Doppler transthoracic echocardiography as a marker of left atrial mechanical function. The results of this prospective study do not support the hypothesis that a transthoracic shock of mild to moderate energy diminishes atrial mechanical function.
