摘要: Prevalence of left atrial enlargement (LAE) in hypertension has been mostly assessed population-based samples and selected hypertensive groups. A few data are available clinical practice. We examined LAE prevalence severity a cohort patients referred by general practitioners to routine echocardiographic examination. total 2170 individuals (mean age 62 years, 53% men) 17 outpatient laboratories across Italy for detection cardiac disease were included the study. was defined as: A) absolute LA diameter >4.0 cm men >3.8 women; B) normalized body surface area (BSA) >2.3 cm/m2 both sexes. Left graded as mild, moderate, severe according Lang’s report. Patients with 38% criterion A, 20% B. moderate/severe increase size present 34% (A) 32% (B) LAE. Severe 3.3-fold (...
