“…Left atrial diameter is a well-established risk factor for atrial fibrillation,2023 but the larger diameter in Caucasians compared with African Americans is surprising given that atrial volumes, also known to predict atrial fibrillation, 24 were not significantly different. Of note, previous studies have shown that left atrial diameter predicts atrial fibrillation independent of volume,24 and a recent study in Japanese subjects suggests that left atrial diameter might be more important than left atrial volume in predicting recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation 25. The association between Caucasians and larger left atrial diameter also was maintained after adjusting for left atrial volume.…”

“…However, these variables could not stratify patients in one of the two groups. Furthermore, left atrial maximum common diameter does not express reliably left atrial volume and may be misleading due to the prolongation of the longitudinal left atrial diameter in patients with AF [36,37]. All the other echocardiographic parameters expressing left atrial and ventricular dimensions and function were comparable and within normal range in both groups [11,38,39].…”

“…Нормальное старение связано с по-явлением фиброзных изменений в миокарде, дилата-ции ЛП, гипертрофии ЛЖ и диастолической дисфунк-ции ЛЖ [7,8]. У пациентов с заболеваниями сердечно-сосудистой системы часто наблюдаются аритмии, структурные и функциональные изменения сердца [4,[9][10][11]. Гипертрофия ЛЖ приводит к развитию фибро-за, в результате которого возникает неоднородность мио-карда и формируется аритмогенный субстрат, к уве-личению размеров ЛП, изменениям крупных сосудов, появлению диастолической дисфункции ЛЖ.…”

“…Частота ФП у пациентов с легочной гипертензи-ей составляет 31,1% (в 41,3% случаев пароксиз-мальная и в 58,7% случаев -постоянная форма ФП). Отмечена связь между ФП и дилатацией правых камер сердца [9,18,19]. В нашем исследовании получены ас-социации ЛГ с наджелудочковыми аритмиями и ЖЭ, а также установлены взаимосвязи между дилатацией ПП и ФП, между дилатацией ПЖ и ФП, а также ЖЭ.…”
