The use of dedicated long-axis views focused on the left atrium improves the accuracy of left atrial volumes and emptying fraction measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Abstract Background The use of apical views focused on the left atrium (LA) has improved the accuracy of LA volume evaluation by two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography. However, routine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) evaluation of LA volumes still uses standard 2- and 4-chamber cine images f...
