Abstract

The left atrium is a muscular contractile chamber located upstream of the left ventricle which serves as a reservoir for storing blood during left ventricular contraction, as a conduit for blood from the pulmonary veins to the left ventricle during early ventricular filling and, also, as a booster pump to complete left ventricular filling.
