Eisenmenger Syndrome
Eisenmenger syndrome (ES), the most advanced form of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease, is a devastating condition that has a considerable impact on patients’ lives. Patients who develop ES typically exhibit 1 or more of a range of cardiac defects, including ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus. The nature o...

متن کاملTriplanar estimation of left atrial volume
Introduction Left atrial volume (LaV) is an important predictor of outcome for many cardiovascular conditions. The most commonly used method to estimate LaV is the area-length (AL) biplane formula based upon LA measures from 2 and 4 chamber (CH) views. Given the asymetrical shape of the LA, we hypothesized that a formula incorporating measures from all 3 conventional long-axis views is a more a...
متن کاملDeterminants of Left Atrial Volume in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
INTRODUCTION 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. METHODS Patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF were enrolled in this study. Real time 3-D echocardiography w...
متن کاملLeft atrial volume measurements before and after left atrial ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
Background Recent studies have demonstrated the usefulness of CMR imaging in the management of patients with cardiac arrhythmia. CMR imaging allows for more accurate measurement of various cardiac dimensions. Significant changes in LA volumes have previously been documented in patients who have undergone ablation therapy. However, these studies have relied on simple two dimensional measurement ...
