Older age is associated with left atrial strain in humans.
“Left atrial strain was also lower in older age groups, while right atrial strain did not vary by age.”

Heart scans yield reference ranges by age and sex

An observational analysis of 9,088 heart scans produced reference ranges for how heart muscle changes shape, with larger differences by age and sex than ethnicity.An observational analysis of 9,088 heart scans produced reference ranges for how heart muscle changes shape, with larger differences by age and sex than ethnicity.
