  • Title: Effect of isolated left atrial enlargement on mitral annular size and valve competence.
    Author: Tanimoto M, Pai RG.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1996 Apr 01; 77(9):769-74. PubMed ID: 8651134.
    Abstract:
    Effect of isolated left atrial enlargement on mitral annular size and valve competence was evaluated in 62 patients with normal left ventricular size and function and intrinsically normal mitral leaflets. Echocardiographic data showed that isolated left atrial enlargement could cause enlargement of the mitral annulus and cause mitral regurgitation.
