Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

Left atrial (LA) dilation is an important index in cardiovascular disease. The CMR volumetric short axis method is the reference imaging standard but has limited ability to define the mitral valve plane accurately. The biplane method is simpler and frequently employed in clinical settings. We hypothesized that long axis two chamber (2ch) imaging might better define left atrial boundaries.
