Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of increased left atrial (LA)
volume determined within the first 48 h of admission as a long-term predictor of outcome in …

Background—After acute myocardial infarction (AMI), diastolic function assessed by Doppler
echocardiography provides important prognostic information that is incremental to systolic …

Left atrial (LA) volume is a load-independent marker of left ventricular diastolic function. To
determine the value of LA volume to predict mortality in patients with ischemic …

The maximum left atrial volume index (LAVI) has been shown to be of prognostic values, but
previous studies have largely been limited to older patients with specific cardiovascular …

The predictive value of left atrial (LA) dilatation in ambulatory adults with coronary artery
disease is not known. It was hypothesized that echocardiographic LA volume index (LAVI) …

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect on mortality of the left atrial volume index (LAVI) and left
ventricular (LV) geometry (normal, concentric remodeling, eccentric hypertrophy, and …

BACKGROUND: Left atrial volume index (LAVI) is known to reflect the duration and severity
of increased left atrial pressure caused by left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction …

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the determinants of left atrial (LA) volume and its
prognostic value in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Background: Enlargement …

Aims To assess the relationship between left atrial (LA) size and outcome after high-risk
myocardial infarction (MI) and to study dynamic changes in LA size during long-term follow …

Background: The left atrial volume index (LAVI) reflects left ventricular (LV) filling pressure
and has been shown to predict outcome in various cardiovascular diseases. However, its …
