Prognostic implications of left atrial dilation evaluated by echocardiographic volume in patients with normal left atrial antero-posterior dimensions

Background The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical characteristics and prognostic implications of left atrial (LA) dilation evaluated echocardiographic volume in patients with normal LA dimension (LAD). Methods A total of 140 consecutive patients (81 men, mean age: 57 ± 18 years) with...
