Maintaining optimal left atrial size dimensions and left ventricular mass is associated with lower risk of adverse health outcomes in a large community-based sample.
Are left atrial dimension and ventricular mass associated with long-term health outcomes in a community-based sample?
Maintaining optimal left atrial dimension and ventricular mass over the life course is important for long-term health outcomes.
In our large community-based sample, we observed associations of LASD and LVM with risk of multiple health outcomes over long-term follow-up. These findings underscore the importance of maintaining optimal LASD and LVM values over the life course.
Pan et al. (2026) studied this question. Maintaining optimal left atrial size dimensions and left ventricular mass is associated with lower risk of adverse health outcomes in a large community-based sample.
