Burden of rare sarcomere gene variants in the Framingham and Jackson Heart Study cohorts. (2012, background): “Increased left atrial volume is associated with an increase in adverse cardiovascular events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or other cardiovascular conditions.(20,21) Increased LAD was significantly increased in cohort participantswithMYBPC3 variants and with variants classified as ben”
How to diagnose diastolic heart failure: a consensus statement on the diagnosis of heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction by the Heart Failure and Echocardiography Associations of the European Society of Cardiology. (2007, background): “atrial volume index is a more robust marker than left atrial area or left atrial diameter.(144,145) For these reasons, the present consensus document considers a left atrial volume index .”

(2015, result): “This upper normal revised value of 34 mL/m(2) also seems to fit inwell with a risk-based approach for determination of cutoffs between a normal and an enlarged left atrium.(106,123,134,136) This cutoff value is also consistent with the ASE and European Association of Echocardiography guideline docum”
