Are Measures of Left Ventricular Longitudinal Shortening Affected by Left Atrial Enlargement?
Background Even though left atrial (LA) size and function are intimately related to left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, the role of LA with regard to LV systolic function is less clear. Consequently, we examined the potential association that might exist between measures of longitudinal LV systolic shortening and LA dilation using LA volume index (LAVI). Methods In this retrospective...
متن کاملExtreme Left Atrial Enlargement
ENLARGEMENT of the left atrium is well known as one of the earliest manifestations of rheumatic mitral valvular dysfunction. On rare occasions this chamber may become enormous, expanding to the right and posteriorly to form a huge sac that encroaches upon adjacent structures and may eventually rest against the right chest wall. The clinical course of patients who develop such extreme left atria...

متن کاملElectrocardiographic detection of left atrial enlargement. Correlation of P wave with left atrial dimension by echocardiography.
The validity of various electrocardiographic P wave measurements was tested in 48 patients by comparing them to left atrial dimensions determined by echocardiography (echo), a proved method of left atrial size estimation. Of all the measurements considered, only the width of the P wave (PW), the P terminal force in lead V1 (PV1), and the PW/PR segment ratio (PW/PR) showed statistically signific...
متن کاملThe demonstration of left atrial enlargement by body section radiography.
The enlarged left atrium may be poorly demonstrated in conventional rcentgenograms. It can be delineated clearly in such cases by approplriate body section films. Body section radiography may also be helpful in the s udy of other ill-:lefined cardiac and vascular contours and in the dlemonstra-tion of intracardiac calcification. ALTHOUGH the signs of left atrial enlargement are well known, they...
