ResumoAims: As the left ventricular (LV) dimension is a poor indicator of LV volume, there are well-known limitations of left atrial (LA) antero-posterior dimensions as indicators of chamber size. LA volume has been shown to provide a more accurate assessment of LA size than LA dimension. To evaluate two-dimensional (2D)-derived LA volume in assessing LA size, we compared LA dimension and 2D LA volume with three-dimensional (3D)-derived LA volume.
