Methods: A total of 596 healthy subjects [mean age 45.7 +/- 14.6 years, range 18-88 years; 60.1% women] underwent a transthoracic echocardiography. In addition, a meta-analysis was performed of published studies measuring RA volume in healthy subjects, using 2DE single plane area-length (A-L) and/or method of disks (MOD) at end-systole in apical four-chamber view.
Background: Right atrial (RA) volume is an important parameter in the evaluation of patients with pulmonary hypertension. Aim of this study was to define reference ranges for RA volume by two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in healthy adults.
