Key Points

• The letter clarifies the importance of left atrial strain as a biomarker for predicting cardiac outcomes in patients with moderate aortic stenosis.
• The authors discuss findings from the original article on echocardiographic measurements.
• They revisit the analysis of left atrial strain as a predictive tool for clinical outcomes.
• No new methods or data are introduced in this correspondence.
• The letter emphasizes the original article's findings that higher left atrial strain correlates with better cardiac outcomes.
• It suggests confirming left atrial strain as a reliable biomarker for risk stratification in moderate aortic stenosis.
