Research suggests that left atrium size as measured by an echo-cardiograph may be linked to cardiovascular disease. However, studies that have found LAE to be a predictor for mortality recognize the need for more standardized left atrium measurements than those found in an echo-cardiogram. [1]
The left atrial appendage is a pouch-like structure located in the upper part of the left atrium. [1] Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative therapy to oral anticoagulation in a certain subset of patients with atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an irregular and uncoordinated pumping function of the atria.
The left atrial volume is commonly measured by echocardiography or magnetic resonance tomography.It is calculated from biplane recordings with the equation: = where A4c and A2c denote LA areas in 4- and 2-chamber views respectively, and L corresponds to the shortest long-axis length measured in either views.
The left atrial appendage can serve as an approach for mitral valve surgery. [16] The body of the left atrial appendage is anterior to the left atrium and parallel to the left pulmonary veins. The left pulmonary artery passes posterosuperiorly and is separated from the atrial appendage by the transverse sinus. [17]

Steve Guttenberg hit the ground running to help people impacted by the fires in Pacific Palisades — and he was almost unrecognizable.. The flames first began around 10:30 a.m. local time on ...
With the preset AV delay the interval between the left atrial deflection (LA) in the filtered esophageal left atrial electrogram (LAE), and the ventricular stimulus (Vp) is measured. 2. Then the preset AV delay (in this case 150 ms) is corrected by the amount the measured LA-Vp interval is deviating from the target value (70 ms in AV block and ...
