Highlights•The LA is emerging as a biomarker for evaluation of diastolic dysfunction, AF, and
HFpEF.•LA size, although routinely evaluated by 2DE, may be more accurately evaluated by …

Left atrial (LA) volume has recently been identified as a potential biomarker for cardiac and
cerebrovascular disease. However, evidence regarding the prognostic implications of LA …

The interest in the left atrium (LA) has resurged over the recent years. In the early 1980s,
multiple studies were conducted to determine the normal values of LA size. Over the past …

Background Left atrial (LA) evaluation includes volumetric and functional parameters with an
abundance of diagnostic and prognostic implications. Solid normal reference ranges are …

Background—Our study sought to (1) identify reference values for left atrial (LA) volumes
and phasic function indices by 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) and compare them …

OBJECTIVES: Left atrial (LA) volume (LAV) is a prognostically important biomarker for
diastolic dysfunction, but its reproducibility on repeated testing is not well defined. LA …

Echocardiographically determined left atrial (LA) size has been shown to be a significant
predictor of cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. We review the physiology and …

Left atrial (LA) size is an important predictor of cardiovascular events. Various methods of LA
volume assessment exist, but their differences have not been defined. This prospective …

The left atrium has an important role in modulating left ventricular filling and is an important
biomarker of cardiovascular disease and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. While …

Left atrial (LA) strain has emerged as a useful parameter for the assessment of left
ventricular (LV) diastolic function and the estimation of LV filling pressures. Some have …
