Left ventricular and left atrial volume ratio assessed by three‐dimensional echocardiography: Novel indices for evaluating age‐related change in left heart chamber size

Abstract We hypothesized that left ventricular and left atrial volume ratio (LVLAVR) assessed by three‐dimensional echocardiography (3DE) reflects age‐ and gender‐related change in left chamber size. We aimed to (1) determine the reference values of LVLAVR, (2) investigate their age and gender depen...
