and the left atrium pressure rises to maintain adequate filling of the heart. This can lead to a dilated LA. This is an independent predictor of LAE, resulting in a variety of structural and ...

Left atrial enlargement refers to dilation of the left atrium which occurs from multiple disease states that can chronically increase the left atrial pressure. These include congestive heart ...

the left ventricle cannot adequately compensate and the left atrium is relatively non-compliant and non-dilated; symptoms, usually severe, always occur. Multiple disease processes can affect the ...

A research team from the University of Minnesota Medical School has identified a strong predictor of ischemic stroke and ...

Researchers analyzed echocardiographic reports of 792 adult patients with moderate or severe AFMR, dilated left atrium, and preserved left ventricular function, who underwent transthoracic ...

Mild poststenotic dilatation and increased left atrium/aortic root transverse ratio is noted. Blood flow velocity in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) of the same patient (Figure 3 ...
