Assessment of fetal left atrial volume and function using a novel left atrial volume tracking method [PDF]
Several fetal cardiovascular structural defects may alter the hemodynamics of the cardiac chambers resulting in changes in chamber sizes. Quantitative measurements of the sizes of cardiac chambers can augment the diagnostic power of fetal echocardiography.Using a new left atrial volume tracking (LAVT) method, time-left atrial volume curves (TLAVCs) can

Left atrial dimensions – Is left atrial volume calculation always necessary? [PDF]
Background: Left atrial size may increase with hypertension, diastolic dysfunction, atrial fi brillation, valvular disease, ischaemic heart disease and heart failure. Accurate measurement of left atrial size is important as it can help in the diagnosis and management of heart diseases.

Background: Left atrial end-diastolic volume index (LAEDVI), the smallest achieved diastolic volume, strongly predicts cardiovascular events. We hypothesize that echocardiographic left atrial reservoir strain (LASr) parallels LAEDVI, providing an ...

Left Atrial Volume As A Predictor Of Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Background. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia complication following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). The incidence is raging from 10% to 50%.

Abstract Aims Left atrial (LA) volume and LA epicardial fat are both substrates for atrial fibrillation (AF), but may relate with AF at different (early vs. late) stages in the AF disease process.

Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation in Dependence of Left Atrial Volume Index [PDF]
Despite advances in the treatment strategies of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the risk of AF recurrences is still over 50%. An increased left atrial volume index (LAVI) reflects left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) and deterioration of the LA function.

BACKGROUND: Left atrial analysis is employed in diastolic assessment with left atrial volume index (LAVI) incorporated in the 2016 ASE/EACVI diastology guideline algorithm. LAVI has sub-optimal correlation with invasive left ventricular filling pressure (

Systematic Analysis of Gene Expression Differences between Left and Right Atria in Different Mouse Strains and in Human Atrial Tissue [PDF]
Background: Normal development of the atria requires left-right differentiation during embryonic development. Reduced expression of Pitx2c (paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2, isoform c), a key regulator of left-right asymmetry, has recently ...
