BackgroundAtrial cardiopathy is an important cause of embolic stroke and a potential cause of cognitive dysfunction. Increased left atrial volume indexed to body surface area (LAVi) has been widely used as marker for atrial cardiopathy. However, since physiological remodeling may also increase LAVi, it lacks specificity. Left atrial to left ventricular volume (LA:LV) ratio was recently suggested as a better marker of atrial cardiopathy allowing a more accurate detection of imbalanced, pathologic...
