A normal and particularly small left atrial size measured during echocardiography MAY NOT suggest low likelihood of moderate or severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Overview
abstract
This is letter to the editor: we point to a statistical error in a recent article published in the journal by Movahed MR, Soltani Moghadam A. A normal and particularly small (<35 mm) left atrial size measured during echocardiography suggests low likelihood of moderate or severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which may have resulted in a biased conclusion.
