Multicenter StudyDeterminants of left atrial volume index in patients with aortic stenosis: A multicentre pilot study.
Left atrial (LA) enlargement is frequent in patients with aortic stenosis (AS), yet its determinants and prognostic implications are poorly understood. ⋯ LA enlargement is correlated with AS severity, but also with variables reflecting LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Further studies are needed to investigate the outcome implication of LA enlargement in patients with AS.
