When right atrial enlargement occurs, it does not take longer for cardiac action potentials to travel through the atrial myocardium (similar to left atrial enlargement). However, the amplitude of ...

In addition, echocardiographic variables, such left atrial enlargement, left ventricular wall thickness, and impaired left ventricular systolic dysfunction are also risk factors for developing the ...

An electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation, with large "f" waves, right-axis deviation anda 6-mm. R′ wave in Lead V 1 that was compatible with hypertrophy of the right ventricle.

Background: Atrial function is an integral part of cardiac function that is often neglected. The presence of left ventricule hypertrophy (LVH) due to arterial hypertension may impair atrial function.

For high-blood-pressure patients, preventing or reducing enlarged heart (left ventricular hypertrophy, LVH) reduces risk of atrial fibrillation (AF or afib), a life-threatening condition that can ...
