Left Atrial Volume: Comparison of 2D and 3D Transthoracic Echocardiography with ECG-gated CT Angiography

Left Atrial Function during Pregnancy: A Three‐Dimensional Echocardiographic Study

“…RT3DE has been well validated and has been shown to be superior to 2D‐TTE for quantifying the volume and mass of the LV 18–21 . Freehand 3D echocardiography was also found to be a valid, accurate, reproducible method for determining LA and RA volume in humans that is comparable to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and is superior to current 2D echocardiographic techniques 19 .…”

Left Atrial Volume in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

“…Moreover, although echocardiography is the most commonly used diagnostic modality for assessing LA volume in daily clinical situations, volume measurement may be difficult to obtain in emphysematous patients and may be inaccurate due to the complex shape of the LA. 1,24 In summary, this study shows that the indexed LA volume is correlated to the severity of lung destruction in smokers.…”

Comparison of cardiac computed tomography versus cardiac magnetic resonance for characterization of left atrium anatomy before radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

“…TTE remains the imaging modality of choice as first test. However, LA volume quantification by TTE as compared to CCT or CMR is usually underestimated in 25-30% due to suboptimal definition of LA contour and geometric modeling assumptions [35]. Accordingly, Parikh et al [36] showed that LA volume by TTE was not predictive of outcomes.…”
