摘要: Atrial size in recipients of orthotopic heart transplant (OHTX) who have long-term survival is not well described the literature. We reviewed 2-dimensional echocardiograms 14 OHTX survived at least 5 years. Apical 4-chamber images were used for measurements starting 1-year post-OHTX. The 8 (57%) men and 6 (43%) women with a mean age 43.6 +/- 12.1 (20-60) years 9.5 2.6 (5.8-14.4) All chambers increased time post-OHTX (r > 0.83, P <.002). change RA recipient remnant area did correlate = 0.58, =.06). In survival, there significant correlation between echocardiographic LA RA, donor remnants survival.
