Comparison of left atrial area with left atrial volume index in the echocardiographic assessment of left atrial size [PDF]
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2015 Background:Diabetes is associatedwithdiffuse atherosclerosis and a high prevalence of cardiovascular events. Metformin is recommended as first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes, with evidence of benefits on dyslipidaemia and inflammation, in addition to glucose lowering.

Determinants of Left Atrial Volume in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
PLOS ONE, 2016 Left atrial (LA) enlargement is an important risk factor for incident stroke and a key determinant for the success of rhythm control strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, factors associated with LA volume in AF patients remain poorly understood.Patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF were enrolled in this study. Real time 3-D
