“…This finding is consistent with previous studies indicating that both 2-and 3-dimensional TTE systematically underestimates LA volumes by 23-34% when compared with CMR, MSCT or contrast ventriculography [19][20][21][22]. This underestimation is partly a result of different conventions in LA volume measurements.…”

“…In a previous study by Christiaens et al [17], the LAVmax, LAVmin and LAEF were measured using 64-MSCT, but the other left atrial functional variables were not evaluated. The left atrial function is impaired in a number of cardiovascular outcomes [2][3][4][5][18][19][20].…”

“…9 In addition, the maximum left atrial (LA) volume was calculated according to the biplane area-length method and indexed for body surface area. 18 A total of 55 mL/m 2 was defined as the upper limit for LA volume index. 19 Evaluation of LGE was performed according to the AHA-17-segment model.…”
