Abstract
Background: Left atrial volume (LAV), assessed by two-dimensional echocardiography, is an important prognostic indicator in patients with cardiovascular disease. The volume is routinely calculated from the apical views using an area–length formula or ellipsoid method. Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) permits visualization of the LA and assessment of LAV using similar methods. The relationship between measurements obtained with CTA and echocardiography has not been defined.
