The effects of volume loading on the left atrial preejection period (LAPEP) and left atrial ejection time (LAET) were examined in 24 patients with various heart diseases using pulsed Doppler echocardiography. In response to volume loading, the left atrial dimension before atrial contraction significantly increased from 30.6 mm +/- 5.8 mm to 32.4 mm +/- 5.4 mm and the change in the left atrial dimension during atrial contraction tended to increase. The peak velocity in the atrial contraction phase significantly increased from 58 cm/s +/- 14 cm/s to 63 cm/s +/- 13 cm/s, and the integral of the atrial contraction phase tended to increase. LAPEP significantly decreased from 114 ms +/- 16 ms to 104 ms +/- 14 ms and LAET significantly decreased from 128 ms +/- 15 ms to 124 +/- 12 ms. The relation between LAET and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, and that between LAPEP and mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, shifted downward to the right after volume loading. Thus, left atrial ejection is augmented by volume loading according to the Frank-Starling mechanism, while LAPEP decreases due to an increase in preload and LAET decreases due to an increase in afterload.
