ClinConnect Summary
Atrial function is important for good ventricular filling and function. In patients with impaired cardiac function, atrial contraction is even more important. So far, the size and function of the atria have been assessed two-dimensionally by angiography and by echocardiography. However, these do not allow exact characterization of the volumetric changes of the atria during the cardiac cycle. Recently, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to assess size and function of the left atrium in adults. Little data are available about function and volume of the atria in children and the ro...
