Left atrial enlargement. Echocardiographic assessment of electrocardiographic criteria.
A comparison of electrocardiographic manifestations of left atrial enlargement (LAE) and left atrial size by echocardiography was made in 307 patients in sinus rhythm. Electrocardiographic criteria used were L:P wave duration in lead II equal to or greater than 0.12 sec; Va: the ratio of the duration of negative terminal P in V1 to the P-R segment equal to or greater than 1.0; Vb: a negative P ...
متن کاملPulmonary capillary wedge pressure and natriuretic peptide levels in patients with sinus rhythm and severe left atrial enlargement following mitral valve surgery: early and late changes
INTRODUCTION Chronic mitral regurgitation is often accompanied by left atrial and ventricular remodeling and elevated natriuretic peptide levels. Our aim was to examine the relation between severe preoperative left atrial enlargement and changes in hemodynamics and natriuretic peptide levels after mitral valve surgery. METHODS A prospective study was conducted including 40 consecutive patient...
متن کاملLeft atrial volume combined with atrial pump function identifies hypertensive patients with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Identifying patients at high risk for the occurrence of atrial fibrillation is one means by which subsequent thromboembolic complications may be prevented. Left atrial enlargement is associated with progression of atrial remodeling, which is a substrate for atrial fibrillation, but impaired atrial pump function is also another aspect of the remodeling. Our objective was to differentiate patient...
متن کامل[Anatomic atrial remodeling after mitral valve surgery in permanent atrial fibrillation].
BACKGROUND Mitral valve pathology is frequently associated with atrial dilation and fibrillation. Mitral surgery allows immediate surgical atrial remodeling, and in those cases in which sinus rhythm is achieved, it is followed by late remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the process of postoperative atrial remodeling in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation who undergo mit...
متن کاملAn improved method for echographic detection of left atrial enlargement.
Echographic dimensions of the aortic root and left atrium were compared in 170 patients in order to assess dilation of the left atrium with reference to the relatively nondistensible fibrous aortic root. In 50 patients without cause for left atrial or aortic enlargement, the ratio of left atrial/aortic root dimension was 0. 87-1.11. In 80 patients with known cause for left atrial enlargement, t...
